Can this obelisk be used in pots?

Troubleshooting
Obelisk does not expand fully
Gently ease the willow strands apart. Ensure there are no obstructions or knots in the natural material preventing expansion.
Obelisk feels unstable
Ensure the base is firmly pushed into the ground. For added stability, especially in windy areas or with heavy plants, consider securing the base with garden stakes or by burying it slightly deeper.
Willow appears to be weathering or fraying
This is natural for willow. For continued support and aesthetic appeal, consider a light application of a protective, plant-safe oil or sealant, and store indoors during harsh winter conditions.
