FAQs
What material are the plant support sticks made from?
They are made from metal coated in plastic for durability and grip.
How many plant support sticks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 80 plant support sticks.
What is the length and thickness of each stick?
Each stick is 120cm long and 1.1cm thick.
Can these sticks be used for heavy plants like tomatoes?
Yes, they can support tomato plants, especially when young. For mature or very heavy fruit-laden plants, additional support or multiple stakes may be beneficial.
Are these sticks suitable for outdoor use year-round?
They are designed for garden use, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions might affect the plastic coating over time. Storing them indoors during extreme off-seasons can prolong their life.
How should I clean the plant support sticks?
Clean them with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Ensure they are dry before storing.
What is the primary advantage of the textured surface?
The textured surface provides enhanced grip for plants, netting, or fleece, preventing them from sliding down the stick.
Troubleshooting
Sticks are not stable in the ground.
Ensure the sticks are pushed deep enough into the soil. If the ground is very hard, moisten the soil slightly or use a rubber mallet to gently tap them in further.
Plants are slipping off the sticks.
Ensure the textured surface is facing the plant. Use garden ties or soft clips to secure the plant stem to the stick for additional support.
Coating appears to be peeling.
This is normal wear over time. For immediate use, ensure no sharp edges are exposed. If significant damage occurs, consider replacing the affected sticks for optimal plant care.
Need to connect multiple sticks for a larger structure.
Use compatible garden netting, twine, or purpose-made connectors to join the tops or sides of the sticks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the placement for your plant supports based on the needs of your plants or garden design.
- Gently push the pointed end of the stick into the soil, ensuring it is securely anchored to provide stable support. For larger plants or structures, consider inserting the sticks deeper into the ground.
- Guide plant stems or attach netting to the stick, utilizing the textured surface for grip. Use ties or clips if necessary for added security.
Compatibility:
These plant support sticks are compatible with most garden plants, including climbing vegetables (beans, peas, cucumbers), flowering vines, and small shrubs. They can also be used with various garden accessories like netting, fleece, and twine. The 1.1cm diameter is suitable for standard garden stakes or connectors if needed.
Care:
- Clean the sticks with a damp cloth to remove soil or debris after use.
- Store them in a dry place during the off-season to prolong their lifespan.
- Inspect the plastic coating periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Minor scratches are normal, but significant peeling may reduce their durability.
