Will "Climbing Fig Ivy" attach itself to a smooth metal fence post?

I just planted 8 Climbing Fig Ivys along a smooth metal fence. The rungs are straight and spaced a few inches apart. Will the ivy be able to grasp and hold onto the fence? Right now it is secured to the poles with twist ties to keep it attached.

I'm not familiar with the plant you are speaking of; however, it sounds to me like you are doing things right.





To give it the best chance to hold on, you should gently wrap it around the rungs, trying to imitate how it would twine around a pole naturally. If you just ran it strait up the wrungs, it may take longer for it to be able to hold itself in place. Just be careful not to twist it to far or it could snap.





Also, remember to remove the twist ties after it has time to grown and wrap around the fence. If you leave the ties on and forget about them, they can choke off the vine as the vine grows.
Reply:Normally climbing vines stick to whatever they are climbing regardless of the surface.
