FAQs
What material are these plant support sticks made from?
They are made from durable and flexible bamboo.
How long is each support stick?
Each support stick is 30cm long.
Are these sticks suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are made from weather and water-resistant bamboo, making them suitable for outdoor environments.
How many sticks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 50 support sticks.
Will the green dye rub off on my hands?
The dye is generally set, but prolonged handling before it fully cures or in wet conditions might lead to minimal transfer. Washing hands after use is recommended.
Can I use these for heavier plants like fruit trees?
They are suitable for supporting young fruit trees or smaller branches. For very mature or heavy trees, you may need larger or stronger support systems.
What is the benefit of the smooth surface?
The smooth, burr-free surface prevents accidental pricks or damage to your hands while you are working with the sticks.
Troubleshooting
Stick won't insert easily into the soil
Moisten the soil slightly around the insertion point. If the soil is very hard, consider using a thicker stick or a tool to create a pilot hole.
Plant is leaning away from the support
Gently guide the plant towards the stick and secure it with a soft tie. Add additional sticks if necessary for better stability.
Stick appears to be degrading after one season
This is normal for natural bamboo over extended periods, especially in wet environments. For longer-term needs, consider reinforced or alternative materials. Ensure adequate drying time between watering cycles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the plant that requires support.
- Gently insert the pointed end of a Green Blade support stick into the soil near the base of the plant, ensuring it is firm.
- Guide the plant's stem or branches towards the support stick. Use soft ties (like garden twine or fabric strips) to loosely secure the plant to the stick as it grows, avoiding constricting the stem.
Compatibility:
These support sticks are compatible with virtually all types of garden soil and potting mixes. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including greenhouses, balconies, patios, and traditional garden beds.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth if they become soiled. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to constant moisture or extreme conditions may shorten their lifespan. Allow them to dry out between waterings if possible.
- Store in a dry place during the off-season to maximize longevity.
