Garden Canes For Plants

Durable Garden Canes For Your Plants

Just like us, our plants need a little support sometimes! Give climbing flowers like sweet peas and jasmine something to wind their way up with a plant support stick, or give tall, heavy produce plants like tomatoes or cucumbers something to lean on.

These supports and canes should be used together with string, clips or twine, with our range of products promising to keep your greenery tall and proud. If you’re careful about your lawn and flowerbeds, you could opt for a totally biodegradable twine that won’t harm your soil or any wildlife if it were to fall.

Support the growth of your plants

If you’ve gone to the effort of growing plants from a seed or a bulb, the last thing you want is for a sudden gust of wind to result in a snapped stem. Reinforcing the strength of your plants while keeping your garden tidy and ordered, garden canes and supports are crucial to give your plants the best fighting chance of flourishing.

Canes and support structures aren’t the only things you can use to get the maximum yield from your harvest, with garden netting also being important if you want to produce crunchy runner beans and juicy strawberries.

House plants need support too

It isn’t just outdoor plants which need help – our indoor plants have a tendency to lean when they reach a certain size. Taller, heavier plants like monsteras and crazy climbers like pothos’ would benefit from support sticks nestled in the soil of your pot.

FAQs

What are garden canes?

Garden canes are support structures for flowers, vegetables, young trees, fruits, and tomatoes.

You can join the canes to create tripods, frames and wigwam to support and protect everything from vegetables like runner beans to décor flowers. A trellis can also be used to landscape your garden, with Clematis being a popular decorative option.

Are bamboo canes strong?

Absolutely! Bamboo canes pack some strength and can withstand harsh weather conditions. For added strength, plastic canes and large wooden stakes are great options.

Why do gardeners put pots on top of canes?

Some gardeners love the decorative, rustic vibe they add to their garden. Some use them for safety and to prevent eye injuries from the support canes, or to help lay protective fleecing on top of vulnerable plants. Believe it or not, some folks use them to attract earwigs, which actually help control fruit predators like aphids.

How long do bamboo canes last?

Bamboo canes can stick around anywhere from 4 to 12 years. How long they last depends on factors like the bamboo species, weather, and your use. To keep them in tip-top shape, give them a good cleaning now and then, and consider treating them with a protective coating to help them last even longer.
