You can get lengths of steel rod of the proper diameter and cut and form your own.

And like Subrosa said, these are easy to make. I use galvanized wire available at any good hardware or farm supply store. Cut to a suitable length, straighten it and form it around a clay pot. Use a pliers to form the other bends or bend around a woode dowel. Easy, but wear safety glasses.

Also, try doing a search for Roberts Flower Supply. They're located in Ohio. They handle wire pot hangers but are the variety that clip onto the side of the pot.

Thanks so much, All!

what ga. wire are you using to find it strong enough?

this may be the same product but i am not sure...i think these are much smaller and are for holding the plant upright. i might call to ask


i think that product you found Paphluvr looks great! i will look further into that

As near as I can tell the galvanized wire I've been using for the hoop style holders is 12AWG. These are suitable for 4" or smaller clay pots, maybe 6" if plastic. If using larger clay pots the side clips are a better choice. They grip under the lip of the pot.

Here is another home-made design I found that would probably hold a larger clay pot.

Kelly's Korner....I get all my wire supports and hangers there.

Thanks!! That’s the ticket!

I think I will try my hand at making one just to see if I can!

Actually, that is not a pot hanger at all! It is a plant support for plants like cattleyas that you’re using upside-down!

The idea is that the crimped end grips the edge of the pot, and the ring surrounds the growths, holding them upright.

[DirtyCoconuts]

ah, so they are all metal ring stakes?

i was wondering about that based on the lack of finding them as hangers

i have had decent luck with bending the 12ga wire s that is the path i am taking for now
