RE: [Aroid-l] stabilization of large pots

From: "Steve Hatfield" sehatfield at insightbb.com> on 2006.07.10 at 01:54:15(14398) I put a large heavy rock in the pot first (if I don’t need to move it) You can also “partially plant” the pots if that will work in your situation.

Scott Taylor Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 9:00 AM To: Discussion of aroids 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.
