Troubleshooting
Plant support is unstable
Ensure the stakes are pushed deeply enough into the soil. If the soil is very loose, consider adding more stakes or reinforcing the base.
Adjustable rings are difficult to move
Gently flex the ring mechanism. If it's stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can help, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can degrade the plastic.
Coating appears damaged
If the green coating is chipped, inspect the underlying aluminum for any signs of corrosion. Minor chips usually do not affect structural integrity. You can cover significantly damaged areas with waterproof tape if desired.
Stakes are too short for tall plants
For taller varieties, consider using multiple stakes positioned strategically or opting for taller support systems. These are best suited for plants that reach a height of up to approximately 76 cm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, simply insert the base of the plant support stakes firmly into the soil near your plant. Ensure it is stable before proceeding. Adjust the support rings by opening and closing them to fit around the plant's stem and branches as needed. For climbing plants, guide the main stem towards the structure and gently tie it if necessary.
Compatibility: These stakes are compatible with most types of soil and are ideal for small to medium climbing plants, flowers, vegetables, and herbs such as tomatoes, peppers, basils, hydrangeas, peonies, and roses.
Care: To maintain the stakes, clean them with a damp cloth after the growing season. Although rustproof, periodic cleaning will help preserve the appearance of the green coating. Store in a dry place during winter to prolong their lifespan.
