What I do is to push a stainless steel rod through a leafless backbulb and fix that to the rim of the pot works well for me and does little or no damage to the plant when the rod is removed. I also tie some leaves to the upright rod this helps to steady the plant in the pot . Remember that if the newly repotted plant has a lot of movement in the pot that the new root tips ,which are very fragile , will be damaged and stop growing the plant will then have to try again . So anchoring the plant in the pot properly is essential. this also applies to Catts
