Plants are delicate, and as they are growing, they begin to need some extra support to prevent them from being damaged. The best way of tackling this problem, while ensuring healthy growth, is by using bamboo stakes.
Stakes are an affordable yet very effective piece of gardening equipment, and if you live in a windy area, they’re exactly what you need to stop the slightest breeze from killing your greenery.
Bamboo Stakes provide support for plants, but that doesn’t mean you have to tie every single plant in your garden to them.
It can be tempting to take this extra step to ease your mind, but ideally, you should only use bamboo stakes for plants that struggle to support themselves. Why? As nervous as the wind might make you, it’s actually a good thing for plants to be hit with wind.
Light winds help to strengthen your plants while they grow and unless strong winds are an issue, don’t give in to the temptation of “staking” every plant in the garden.
Using a bamboo stake is easy but remember how delicate plants can be; you must take care when tying your plants up.
If you’re using tree stakes then you might consider using multiple stakes. Trees are a lot bigger (and heavier) than plants. Therefore a single stake might not provide enough support.
When it comes to securing a plant to the stake, avoid using wired ties. Opt for a softer material – string and wool are both perfect for this job – and don’t make your tie tight. A loose tie allows the plant to benefit from the breeze and strengthen, but because of the added support, there’s minimal risk of it snapping.
