Troubleshooting
Ring is unstable in the soil.
Ensure the legs are pushed deep enough into firm soil. If the soil is very loose, consider reinforcing the base or using a wider ring if available.
Plant is outgrowing the ring too quickly.
Consider using a larger diameter grow-through ring, or place a second, larger ring concentrically around the first one for additional support.
Surface rust is appearing.
Surface rust is a natural characteristic of steel and can add to the rustic appeal. If it is not desired, clean the affected area and apply a metal-specific clear sealant to protect the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the desired location for the plant requiring support.
Gently push the legs of the Grow Through Ring into the soil around the base of the plant. Ensure it is stable and vertical.
Position the ring so the plant can grow through it naturally as it develops.
Compatibility:
Plant Types: Suitable for a wide range of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and even some smaller climbing plants. Ideal for plants with a mature spread of approximately 16 inches or less.
Soil Types: Compatible with most garden soils. Ensure the soil is firm enough to support the ring.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance: While designed to be weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may lead to surface rust over time. This is a natural characteristic that enhances the rustic look. To prevent excessive rust, ensure the protective coating is maintained. If significant rust appears and is undesirable, a clear sealant can be applied annually.
