Abstract
A gardening plant support can be a plastic semi-circular base which can face another base to form a circle on the ground or in a flower pot. At the end of each base may be a removable spike to allow shipping in a flat box. When in use the spikes are pressed into the ground. Then wires are pushed through holes in the base to reinforce the footing on the ground. The wires protrude upward one to four feet to allow clipping plant stalks thereto. A straight head version can have eight or more wires and a central spike.
Claims13
A plant support apparatus comprising:
- a semi-circular base having a removable spike at each of a first and a second end thereof;
- said removable spike extending several inches below the semi-circular base to secure the semi-circular base on a ground surface and prevent it from falling over;
- a plurality of thru holes spaced about and within the semi-circular base and parallel to the removable spikes;
- a first wire adjustably engaged in at least one of said thru holes to protrude below and above the semi-circular base;
- said wire suited to be pushed into the ground surface for added support;
- and
- a clip on the wire above the semi-circular base functioning to support a plant.
A plant support apparatus comprising:
- a first and second semi-circular base each having a removable spike at each of a first and a second end thereof;
- each of said removeable spikes extending several inches below the semi-circular bases to secure its respective semi-circular base on a round surface and prevent it from falling over;
- each semi-circular base having a plurality of spaced holes parallel to the removeable spikes;
- a first wire in each semi-circular base adjustably engaged in one of said holes to protrude above and below the semi-circular base;
- said first wire suited to be pushed into the ground surface for added support;
- and
- wherein the first semi-circular base is placed facing the second semi-circular base to form a circle.
A plant support apparatus for a flower pot, the plant support apparatus comprising:
- a first and second semi-circular base;
- each base having a plurality of spaced thru holes angled perpendicular to a top surface of the base;
- a wire adjustably engaged in at least one thru hole in each base to protrude below and above the base;
- each of said wires extending into a flower pot soil surface to prevent its respective base from falling over when weighted;
- wherein the first base is placed facing the second base to form a circle atop the flower pot soil surface in the flower pot;
- and
- wherein each wire has a clip to engage a plant stem.
