Looking for climbing plants that don’t do a mess? Although this is almost impossible, since all plants, to a greater or lesser extent, are dirty, it is true that there are some that will not give you as much work, or stain as much.
In fact, we’ve made a selection of some of them so you can opt for plants that give you great vision, and incidentally don’t require you to sweep every two by three. Shall we start?

Potho
Potho, or poto, is one of the non-damaging climbing plants. It is a plant that you can have as a climber. You will see, although it is a pendant, it can also be placed with a stake. And at the same time, we could put it, with some guides, so that it can climb, for example on the walls of the house. You would just have to make sure the branches go where you want.
Regarding its maintenance, it is one of the easiest to maintain, since it will only need well-drained soil (loose and nutritious), moderate watering, a little fertilizer in the spring and summer, and (indirect) light.
climbing rose
Another option that answers the question of climbing plants that don’t mess is this one. In fact, it’s not that it doesn’t get dirty, because as we tell you, it will when the roses wilt and the leaves fall. But it will be something you can control, usually it won’t smudge you or throw small balls or anything like that.
Climbing roses can be found in many types: with large flowers, small ones, with fragrant flowers or without. There are even roses that can bloom several times a year.
Concerning the care, they won’t cause you any problems beyond the fact that they need a lot of light, even direct sun.
false jasmine
We are talking about Trachelospernum jasminoide and we recommend it because it is one of the most resistant to frost (temperatures down to -14ºC). He will need you to give him support so that he can hold on to it and grow. In return he will bloom you with some pretty flowers.
Of course, it needs a lot of indirect light, as well as moderate watering and fertilizing in the spring and summer flowering period. And, of course, being abroad.
Ivy
Another plant that you are going to have all year round that doesn’t get too dirty is this one. In fact, you can find up to 10 different speciesyou will therefore have the choice, since all are perennials.
You won’t have to worry about their adhesion either, since they are able to generate aerial roots that allow them to cling to walls and thus climb. Even so, when she’s little, she can’t hurt a little help.
In fact, if what you want is a climbing ivy, when choosing it, we recommend that you choose one with large leaves; those with small leaves will take a long time to “grow out” and become large enough to be considered adequate.
As for care, you can put it in the shade or in the sun and it will stay green all year round. Also, it usually doesn’t drop many leaves (if it does, there’s a problem) beyond those that are part of its natural cycle.
creeping spit
This is the common name by which Euonymus fortunei is known, a creeping plant but which, in reality, can also be used as a climbing plant.
Visually, The leaves of this plant will attract your attention, as well as the flowering it has, very reddish. But be careful, because of all those we have given you, it is perhaps the one that dirties the most, especially at the end of flowering.
night lady
The lady of the night is another that can be placed in plants that do not soil. It is a shrub, yes, but when it is already tall it can perfectly serve, like the previous one, as a climber.
Persistent, this plant will give you some flowers that you will only see open at night, but with a fragrance that will drive you crazy. She doesn’t need big things, just a little light, good soil (although she will adapt as she grows), a little fertilizer and regular watering, especially in spring and summer.
Ficus pumila
Also known as ficus repens, it is one of the alternatives to climbing plants that does not mess. In this case, the most characteristic of this plant are the tiny leaves that it throws at you.
As for care, it will take a lot of water (it does not tolerate drought, indeed it could die if you submit it to water stress), and be in partial shade (even if the sun would be ideal).
Passionflower
Another option, a little dirtier than the previous ones, is this one. It is a plant that remains perennial as long as it is in a temperate or warm climate, if it is cold it will drop its leaves until the following spring.
It is known as the passion flower and you have several different species, with white flowers or with different shades. You could even opt for the one that bears the passion fruit.
Regarding care, it requires abundant watering, direct or indirect natural lighting (but at least 8-10 hours) and a fertile and loose substrate.
Plectranthus australis
You may not know it by that name, but you know it as the money plant. It’s one of the climbing plants you could have in your home that doesn’t get too dirty. Indeed, if you maintain the care it needs, it will be perfect all year round.
Regarding care, water often, lots of light (except in summer, when it will be better to put it in partial shade).
Honeysuckle
Finally, we leave you the Honeysuckle, a plant that can be kept perennial and that will bloom in spring and summer with very aromatic white, pink or red flowers.
You can expose it to the sun without problem (in partial shade if it is very hot) and water moderately.
Do you know of any other climbing plants that don’t get dirty? If so, leave them in the comments so others can know what kind of plants they can choose that don’t require them to always be aware of sweeping and the plant is fine.
