'greenhouse containers' is the definition.
'pots' can be an answer for 'containers' (pot is a kind of container). I'm not sure about the 'greenhouse' bit.

'supports without spur' is the wordplay.
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'supports' with 'spur' taken out is 'POTS'.

'in' is the link.
