RE: [Aroid-l] stabilization of large pots


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.

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
