A benefit of recycling: Reuse the plastic netting bags that avocados come in since they are both strong and flexible. Cut the netting to size to fit the top of your container, square, round, oval. Using clear packing tape secure the slippery netting to the sides of the container, stretching it to keep it tight and rigid. The tighter the netting, the more support the flower stems will have.

Costs: a bag of avocados. Budable™ is a handmade polymer, self-sticking, flexible, stretchable, stem assembly tool that the company likes to call the lightweight, any size portable flower frog. It comes in a 3-pack for $15.99. It can be ordered from Amazon by searching: Budable™ 3-pack Flower Arranger, floral supplies, flower frog holder. It is shipped and sold by Bloomeze.
