Seedling support

DonnaMarieNJ · January 20, 2015

What do you use to support your seedlings when they are in solo cups? Sometimes they get tall before I can plant them in the ground. I thought about buying chopsticks at a dollar store, but I think they would be too short. Do I have to purchase plant stakes or is there something inexpensive I can substitute? I am thinking maybe 15 inch stakes? Is that too tall for the solo cups? I know they are in the solo cups for just a short time, but sometimes the weather is not on my side….

I thought about these, but I worry about splintering: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Plant-St...item3f23b3bc9c

Any thoughts?
