Abstract: A stake for supporting weak-stemmed plants including, in one embodiment, an X-shape cross-sectional configuration wherein four orthogonally disposed arms, each having an arrowhead end, radiate outward from a common central vertical axis. A semi-annular clasp to retain a plant stem has reversed hook ends for snap-fit into the openings defined by the arrowheads on each side of the stake. In a second embodiment, the stake includes a central cylinder about which are disposed the arms, the cylinder serving to contain granular fertilizer for gradual dissolution into the earth around a supported plant.
