[Class 6 (ii)] Means for supporting plants growing in bowls and pots comprises a flat strip, preferably of rustless metal, part of which forms a flat base, while one or more other parts are bent into tubular shape and project at right-angles to the base to form stake-receiving legs. The device may comprise a flat base 6 and a tubular portion 5 at one end, Fig. 1, Alternatively, the device may comprise a U-shaped member having two tubes 5 and a connecting-base 7, Fig. 4. Three members of the form shown in Fig. 1 may be pivoted together at the extremities of their bases 6 ; or two or more U-shaped members may be pivoted together at their centres 9, Fig. 4. The base portions may be of unequal lengths so that they can be folded into the same plane. An additional member as shown in Fig. 1 may be placed at the centre of the device shown in Fig. 4.
