Default Staking Orchids

Sounds neat I have used bright pink macrame yarn to tie up my Dancing
Ladies Ginger. And I bought one of those large vases filled with sticks at
a garage sale awhile back, I really didn't want the sticks but they went
with the vase. I've been using sections of them for stakes in other plants.
I need to stake my Epi. pseuepidendrum at least until it gets comfortable in
its new pot but it isn't tall enough to use one of the fancy wire stakes as
it's only in a small 2 1/2 inch pot

I wouldn't say it's best, but I recently staked my equestris using a

crochet
hook as the stake (since I could not find a tiny enough stake in the local
nursery) and a bit of yarn (to match the crochet hook idea :-). It works.

I like the little clips. the cats like to remove the twist ties,

usually
breaking something in the process, they leave the clips alone.

What does everyone use to stake orchids? I've seen the little clips,

twist
ties, string, and the wire loop kind, which is best?
