Troubleshooting
Stake is not stable in the ground.
Ensure the spiked end is fully inserted into the ground. In loose soil, consider using a mallet to drive the stake deeper. If necessary, use multiple stakes for added stability.
The screw lock doesn't hold the stake at the desired height.
Ensure the screw lock is tightened sufficiently. Check for any debris or damage to the locking mechanism and clean if necessary. If the problem persists, the stake may be faulty and should be replaced.
Plant stems are being damaged by the ties.
Use soft, flexible ties that won't cut into the plant stems. Periodically loosen or adjust the ties as the plant grows to prevent constriction.
