Troubleshooting
Support feels unstable after placement.
Ensure the legs are pushed deep enough into the soil. If the ground is very hard, lightly moisten the area before insertion. Consider using a rubber mallet gently to tap the top ring if needed.
Rust is staining hands or clothing.
Always wear gloves when handling the plant supports. If rust transfer occurs, wash affected areas promptly with soap and water. Most clothing stains can be treated with standard laundry methods for rust.
Plant is growing over the support.
For herbaceous plants, the support should be placed around the plant early in its growing season. As the plant grows, guide stems gently through the rings. If the plant is already large, carefully trim a few stems to allow placement, or consider a larger support.
