Insert the support deep enough to provide stability, typically a few inches or more, depending on the soil conditions and the height of the plant.

What material are these supports made of?

How do I clean the supports?

Troubleshooting

Support is unstable or wobbly.

Ensure the support is inserted deep enough into the ground. Consider using a mallet to tap it in further, but be careful not to damage it. If the ground is loose, consider using multiple supports.

Plant is still bending despite support.

Check if the plant is properly secured to the support. Adjust the ties or add more supports if necessary. Also, check the positioning of the supports to ensure they are providing optimal support against the prevailing wind direction.
