ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for stabilizing plant support stakes in a pot includes means spaced vertically and partially defining first and second loops for receiving and holding the plant. Means spaced vertically partially define third and fourth loops for receiving and holding the stake. A spacer member is between the first and second loops and the third and fourth loops. Means brace the loops in fixed relationship to the spacer member.
In one embodiment, the bracing means includes a first brace disposed between the first and second loops and a second brace disposed between the third and fourth loops. The third and fourth loops may be respectively disposed within the first and second loops in the planar relationship and may be pivotable from this planar relationship to form the loops. The spacer member and the loops may be open to facilitate the circulation of air and water through the pot and to permit the roots of the plant to spread.
In a second embodiment, the first and second partial loops respectively define complete loops with the third and fourth partial loops. The first and third partial loops may be supported near one end of the spacer member and the second and fourth loops may be supported near the opposite end of the spacer member. The bracing means may include a pair of braces extending between the loops. A wall spaced from the spacer member defines a receptacle with the spacer member and the braces for receiving and holding the stake.
