They are made from lightweight but sturdy plastic-coated metal.
The '60cm' in the product title indicates the approximate height of the supports.
While they can offer some initial support, these are primarily designed for upright plants to grow through. For climbing plants that need extensive trellising, other solutions might be more suitable.
Each pack contains three XL Double Round Grow Through Grid Supports.
They are designed to be rust-resistant due to their plastic coating, allowing for many years of use.
No, the height is fixed at 60cm, and they are designed to be inserted into the ground to the desired depth.
Yes, they can be used in large containers, provided the container is deep enough to securely anchor the support.
Water the area thoroughly before attempting to insert the support. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider an alternative location or using a rubber mallet gently to tap it in, being careful not to damage the coating.
Ensure the support is inserted deeply enough into the ground. For very large or heavy plants, a second support placed nearby might be necessary. Check that the plant stems are properly guided through the grid openings.
While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure in certain environments might cause minor surface rust. This typically does not affect structural integrity. Clean with water and ensure the coating is intact. If significant damage occurs, consider replacement.
Setup: Simply select the desired location for your plant and push the support directly into the soil around its base. For best results, insert the support when the plant is relatively young to allow it to grow through the grid naturally. Ensure the soil is moist enough to allow for easy insertion.
Compatibility: These supports are ideal for plants with upright or bushy growth habits, including but not limited to peonies, dahlias, phlox, asters, and some varieties of tomatoes or peppers. They are best suited for garden borders, beds, and vegetable patches.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the supports, rinse them with water at the end of each growing season to remove soil and debris. Store them in a dry place during winter if desired, though their rust-resistant coating allows them to remain in the garden year-round. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the plastic coating.
