Crying or Very sad

my sunflowers are so long they are bending over and touching the soil......i dunno if i m supposed to put a stick to stand them up???anyone can help?

the Bear SG

uhh.. you can get those long sticks and clip things to help the flowers stand up... my neighbours used them..

but now, their sunflowers are about 8 ft tall... and the "trunk" is really thick...

not too good at planting.. just had african violets in the past that grew like mad when i ignored them.. no flowers tho'..

ratinacage SG

long sticks i know...but clip thingie??m i supposed to clip mt poor babie?? Crying or Very sad

the Bear SG

no.. it's something like a figure 8 with an elongated middle.. so that they look like 0-0

one side's loop is small for clipping onto the stick, the other is kinda loose for the sunflower...

coolger03 SG

wah!! ur sunflower is growing?? hmm... think shld get my parents to grow sunflowers... at least it's pretty... Mr. Green
read in comics that sunflower will really turn towards to sun one leh... so dun anyhow turn ur pot... if not the stem will be twisted liao.... hehehe

coolger03 SG

bear so professional ah??
think if it's my parents, they will just take a strong and tie the stem to the stick.... Laughing
