Hi;
Bothered by top heavy or droppy plant parts? Many of you may
allready know this but I have cut panty hose into the required size
pieces and used it to support dropping plants. It will not cut into the
plant and is hardly noticable. It is a lot more cost effective then
other methods.Besides, I think of my wife while looking at my orchids

Probably works well with "leggy" plants. LOL
Actually, I was thinking about using a whole pantyhose leg, inserting
the pot into it and pulling it up over the plant, to give support to new
growths on plants where they tend to spread out. Do you think it would
work this way as a form of "staking"? I was thinking it would also shade
certain sensitive plants a bit, too.
Any ideas on this from anyone?

Go have your coffee. That is too much.
Actually strips work best for securing plants to mounts.

Actually, I was waiting for you to get to the part where you tie off the
top and make a bug proof enclosure. :-)

Ssh! I didn't want to say that for fear of losing the idea to somebody else!
Hey, you guys! Stop teasing! You will all be *real* sorry when I market
this idea and get rich and famous. Can't you see them in all colors to
coordinate with your interior? And in packaging twenty times the size of
the product so I can write the warnings and the instructions on it?
Hey, I have great idea for packaging! How about a giant plastic EGG???

(Actually, I was serious about the idea. And I will try it and let you
all know!)
