Re: [Aroid-l] stabilization of large pots

From: "Hal or Nancy Robinson" robyn82 at bellsouth.net> on 2006.07.07 at 16:12:05(14388) Try driving a small rebar (from box stores) down into the ground and placing pots on the rebar. It +More will not show and would not hurt the roots that much. Nancy Robinson Tennessee zone 6b ----- Original Message ----- From: D. Scott Taylor To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 8:59 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] stabilization of large pots Good Morning: I was wondering if any of you enlightened growers have a simple remedy for the ongoing problem of my Amorphophallus pots in larger pots (7-20 gal) being prone to 'tipping' over once the large leaves develop. The plants are so top-heavy that anytime there is a strong breeze or even heavy rain, the pots tend to tip over, damaging the plants and spilling out soil/fertilizer. Short of driving a stake next to each pot and tying them off, I don't know what to do? Thanks dst D.
