This guide is for gardeners looking for durable and versatile plant support. The Garden Pride Rusty Bow Plant Supports offer robust assistance for a variety of plants, helping to revive wind-blown specimens and manage growth throughout the season.

FAQs

What material are the Rusty Bow Plant Supports made from?

They are made from solid steel.

How many sizes are available?

The Rusty Bow Plant Supports come in six different sizes.

Can I connect the bows together?

Yes, the hooks in the corner of each bow allow them to be linked to create rows, circles, and other shapes.

Will these supports rust away quickly?

They are supplied with a degree of rust and will continue to rust once left in the garden. This natural rusting process forms a protective patina and allows them to blend in.

When is the best time to use these plant supports?

The perfect time to use them is towards the middle and end of the growing season, as plants develop their full growth.

Are these supports suitable for very tall plants?

Yes, for large plants, a large bow can be inserted deep into the ground and then slowly drawn out as the plant gets taller.

Can I change the shape of the bow?

Yes, the bows can be gently bent to better suit the plants they are supporting.

Troubleshooting

Plant support appears unstable

Ensure the legs are inserted firmly and deeply into the soil. For larger plants or windy conditions, consider using a larger bow or linking multiple bows for added stability.

Bows are difficult to link

Check that the hooks are aligned correctly. If there is significant rust buildup hindering the connection, gently clean the hooks with a wire brush.

The rust is too aggressive for my aesthetic

While the rust is a natural characteristic, you can slow its development slightly by storing the supports in a dry place when not in use. However, they are designed to rust and integrate into the garden.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate size bow for your plant.
  2. Gently insert the legs of the bow into the soil around the base of the plant. For larger plants, aim for deep insertion.
  3. If necessary, gently bend the bow to better fit the plant's shape. Ensure not to force the bend to avoid breakage.
  4. To create rows or circles, align the hooks of adjacent bows and connect them.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most soil types.
  • Suitable for use with a wide variety of garden plants, from flowers to vegetables.
  • Can be linked with other Garden Pride Rusty Bow Plant Supports.

Care:

  • To prolong their appearance if desired, they can be cleaned with water and a soft brush. However, this is generally unnecessary for their function.
