These supports are dispatched in packs of 4.
They are crafted from sturdy 6mm solid steel bar.
Yes, they are designed to be used in plant pots as well as flower beds.
The weight of a single support is approximately 0.38 kg.
These are medium-sized supports, best suited for medium-height and medium-sprawling plants. For very large or heavy plants, larger supports might be more appropriate.
No, the supports are dispatched fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
The optional green paint coating can withstand cold temperatures down to -30°C.
Ensure the legs are pushed deeply and securely into the soil. If the ground is very hard, water the area first to soften it. For very tall or heavy plants, consider using multiple supports or a larger size.
The support is designed to be placed when the plant is young. If the plant has already grown significantly, you may need to carefully guide the stems over the ring or reposition the support if possible. For future plantings, insert the support earlier in the growth cycle.
The UV-stabilised finish is durable, but extreme weather or abrasive contact can cause wear. Minor wear is generally cosmetic and does not affect structural integrity. For significant damage, consider touch-up paint if available or accept the evolving rustic look.
Setup: To set up the Poppy Forge Medium Simple Ring Plant Supports, simply take one support and firmly push its legs into the soil where the plant is growing. Aim to position the support so it will be roughly halfway up the plant when it reaches its mature height. Ensure the legs are inserted deeply enough to provide stability.
Compatibility: These supports are compatible with a wide range of flowering plants, young shrubs, and vegetables. They can be used in garden beds, borders, or large plant pots. For best results, match the support size to the expected mature size of the plant. They can be used individually or paired with other PoppyForge plant supports for a cohesive garden design.
Care: The green UV-stabilised finish is designed to be weather-resistant. To maintain the supports, clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. If using the bare metal variant, regular cleaning and application of a protective coating can help manage rust, or allow it to develop naturally for a rustic look.
