They make excellent supports until plants can anchor themselves with new roots.

I connect them to plants with everything from hemp or jute twine, twisted tall grass (works great), heavy duty rubber gears ties (like twist ties but strong enough to last years, available from maybe 3" to 18"). Latex bandaging for dogs is cheap and works great also and dissolves on its own after a couple months.

That is a good idea. I personally use barbeque skewer sticks as supports falling plants.

Thanks for the information. I re-potted the plants so hopefully they will be okay now.
