Abstract

A plant support effective in pots with a base diameter of from about 4 to 24 inches, constructed of a telescoping pole; a central perimeter size-adjustable base effectively supporting the pole; at least a first detachable ring disc detachably attachable about the base, and at least a second ring disc detachably attachable about the first ring disc, providing for effective support for growing plants. The telescoping pole is length adjustable to at least eight feet to eliminate the need to replace a support as the plant grows. The plant support is constructed so as to be removed from a pot together as one with the plant it is supporting avoiding separating the plant from the plant support device as the base of the plant support device supports the root mass allowing much of the soil to remain around the root mass as the plant is lifted from its pot.

Claims (10)

1. A plant support with an adjustable base, comprising:

a support for plants having:

a telescoping pole extensible or compressible by the sliding of its overlapping sections to between about 2-8 feet in height, and

a perimeter size-adjustable planar base, said perimeter having a diameter increasable or decreasable between about 4 to 24 inches for use in pots of from 4 to 24 inches diameter,

said base providing support for said telescoping pole;

said perimeter size-adjustable base having

a central section

a first ring section positionable about said central section, and

at least a second ring section positionable about said first ring,

wherein each of said ring sections is repeatedly releasably attachable from and to the central section or the ring section about which it is to be positioned using snap-able connectors, therein providing for the plant support to effectively support plants potted and repotted in increasingly smaller or larger plant pots.
