These cables are necessary but unavoidable. To hide the cables along with the plants, measure the height from the floor to the cable box. You will need pots that are approximately three fourth the height of the cable and telephone box. Buy plants that have wide leaves so that the telephone box and the cable box are completely hidden. Place the pots in front of the boxes. Adjust them so that the cable boxes and the cables are not visible.
