2 Pack Plant Supports Garden Canes & Plant Support

Why Use Garden Canes For Your Plants?

Just like us, our plants need a little support sometimes! Give climbing plants like cucumbers and sweet peas something to hang on to with a plant support stick, or give tall plants like tomato plants and sunflowers something to lean on.

A garden cane will keep your taller plants orderly as well as protect them from damage. Be sure to keep branches in place with ties, clips, or a natural jute twine – this material is completely biodegradable and won’t harm your soil in any way if it was ever to fall off.

The Importance of Plant Support Sticks

If you’ve gone to the effort of growing plants from seed, the last thing you want is for a sudden gust of wind to result in a snapped stem. Using garden canes gives them added strength and keeps your garden looking tidy in the process.

For fruiting varieties like tomatoes and cucumbers, it’s important not to let leaves or buds touch the soil, as this makes them susceptible to disease. Using a plant support will keep your plants healthy and ensure you get the maximum yield from your harvest!

Garden canes for indoor plants

It isn’t just outdoor plants which need help – our indoor plants sometimes have a tendency to lean when they reach a certain size. Simply use a shortened garden cane to keep it standing up straight. Taller, heavier plants like monsteras, rubber plants and snake plants could all benefit from this – a plant support stick placed in the soil of your pot will do the trick nicely.
