Adjustable Amaryllis Stake

Amaryllis are so dramatic and elegant, but the top-heavy blooms are also prone to flopping and toppling over their pots. This brass sectional stake is a versatile and elegant way to support amaryllis stems and keep them beautifully upright. It consists of four brass rods plus a top loop; use as many rods as you need, depending on the height of your amaryllis, and top with the loop. Insert the stake into the soil, taking care not to damage the amaryllis bulb, and then place the amaryllis stem into the loop. Using all four rods gives you a 22-3/4" stake — plenty tall for your biggest amaryllis varieties. Use fewer rods for shorter varieties.
