The disadvantage, however, is that the plant supports are quite short with a length of only 40 centimeters and are therefore only suitable for rather low plants.

Purchase criteria

Type and shape

Plant stick: Plant sticks are traditionally used as plant supports. These are straight, available in different sizes and thicknesses and are simply stuck into the ground next to the main shoot. Then you tie the plant loosely to the stick so that it finds the necessary hold. Plant sticks are versatile and suitable for many plants.

Spiral rod: Spiral sticks are often used to support tomato plants. Stick the stick in the ground next to the main shoot and wind the tomato around the spiral. For an optimal hold, the rod should also be attached to the roof so that it stands straight. For this purpose, spiral rods usually have a small hole at the top.

Perennial holder: A perennial holder is not a single stick, but a mostly semicircular or round plant support that is supposed to prevent perennials or shrubs from falling apart.

material

metal: Plant supports made of metal are particularly robust and durable, they are also very resilient and also support large plants. Make sure, however, that the material is hot-dip galvanized or covered with a layer of plastic. Otherwise it will rust quickly.

wood: Wood is a natural and stable material that is sufficiently weather-resistant with a protective glaze. Willow is very suitable as a plant support because it has the necessary flexibility and is easy to work with.

plastic: These plant supports are inexpensive to buy, and also weatherproof and robust. However, they are not suitable for larger and / or heavier plants, as the material lacks the necessary stability.

bamboo: Bamboo is a natural, renewable material which - if left untreated - can be 100 percent composted. Bamboo sticks are usually only used for one season and then replaced.

Fiberglass: Fiberglass is also a well-suited material for plant supports, as it is very robust, resilient and weather-resistant. It is sometimes referred to as fiber optic.

size

There are very different models with regard to the length and thickness of the plant supports; after all, not all plant species grow in the same way. Stick tomatoes, for example, need a stick up to two meters high, while many indoor plants are satisfied with a support that is 40 to 50 centimeters high. The different thicknesses of the plant sticks also depend on the type of plant. Look beforehand how high your plant will be and choose the plant support accordingly. Some models - such as semicircular perennial holders - can be adapted to growth over time. Others (such as coconut sticks) can even be expanded by stacking several of these sticks on top of each other.
