  • Patent number: 5315782
    Abstract: A method and device for supporting cut plants is disclosed. A flexible walled pouch is provided having a moisturized gel medium therein. The wall of the pouch is formed of a material which will resist accidental tearing or puncturing, yet enables the wall to be punctured to insert a plant material through the puncture. The material of the wall receiving the puncture can either be a nylon and polyethylene laminate or a wall panel formed of a polyurethane foam material. Both of these materials serve to seal around the plant material when the plant material is inserted through the puncture. The moisturized gel material may comprise a water and starch mixture.
