Quick to plant, easy to love — just like a real fantail flitting through your garden.
1. Slide the two stake pieces together until they form a sturdy, seamless support
2. Choose a pot or garden spot with enough depth for the full 70cm stake
3. Push the stake gently but firmly into the soil, keeping clear of your plant’s main root system
4. Use soft ties or clips if needed to help your plant catch on and start climbing
5. Tilt slightly if needed to suit your plant’s shape and give it room to grow
6. Stand back and admire your upgraded #plantgang
Top tip: Leave a little space between your plant’s base and the stake to help it reach out and grip on naturally.

Is this for indoor or outdoor use?
Both! It’s made from Corten® steel, so it holds up beautifully outdoors and looks just as stunning inside.
Can I use this as a climbing support?
Yes – it’s perfect for trailing or climbing houseplants like pothos, monstera, or string of hearts.
Do I need tools to assemble it?
No. It clicks together easily by sliding the two pieces into each other — no tools or force required.
Is this a good gift?
Absolutely. It comes flat-packed in an A4 box and works for anyone who loves plants, birds, or clever design.
