Training Catts and Dens
 
I am getting sick of some of my plants looking so straggly. What do you
guys do with your straggly Dens and Catts (before they can get
straggly)? Do you stake each growth separately?

Hi, Reka,

LTNT!

Depends on the plant. For some of the Catts and Dends, a metal ring (that
attaches to the pot) does the trick and brings things into the center. On
the other hand, we have some Dends that are really rangy, and those we stake
individually.

I believe Diana means ring stakes the below URL shows a picture of them
and
it was just the first one I found to show pictures. Note it clips to the
pot. (next to last on page)

Exactly right! Best used when repotting, but it's possible to slide them
over existing plantings in most cases.

Reka, the fingers - thanks for asking. I'm not sure you want to know the
answer, though!

Diana
