Stem Support Hooks for Leaves are transparent acrylic supports designed to hold up heavy or drooping leaves without visually cluttering the plant. They help prevent petiole bending, leaf tears, and stem damage, while keeping leaves positioned for better light and cleaner growth.

You can use them with or without the optional 4 mm support stick, depending on how much lift and stability you need.

Drooping leaves are not just cosmetic. Over time they can kink, rub against surfaces, or get damaged during watering and moving. These hooks give you a simple way to support leaves early, so the plant can keep pushing growth without setbacks.

Sizes and how to choose

Pick the diameter based on the spread of the leaf cluster you want to support:

• 45 mm: small leaves, tight crowns, young plants
• 76 mm: most compact houseplants and small aroids
• 100 mm: medium leaf clusters, common Alocasia sizes
• 127 mm: larger leaves, heavier petioles
• 203 mm: very large leaves or multi leaf support in one point

Tip: If you are between sizes, go one size up so petioles rest naturally instead of being forced.

There are two ways to use the hooks depending on your setup:

• With stick
Insert the 4 mm support stick into the substrate near the stem, then slide the hook into position and cradle the leaf gently.

• Without stick
Place the hook directly where your substrate and plant structure already provide enough stability.

For best results, support leaves before they fully droop or bend.

The hooks are made from clear acrylic and ship with a protective film to prevent scratches during transport. Peel the film off before use, starting from the side opposite the logo.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth when needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
