How to properly steak a lady?

[CheebaMonkey]

She's only 30 days into 12/12 but the top cola is causing her to lean a little. I imagine I'll need to steak soon but I'm worried about hurting the roots. Where do I place the steak and how deep do I go with it? How wide should the steak be?

ive seen those plant hooks, i cant remember the name. but they seem to work well.
otherwise why not try tying something to the pot instead of sticking it in soil.

i use thin steaks and put them to the bottom of the container i do this towards the outside of the container to avoid damaging main roots. do it soon or you risk losing whole branches from bud weight wind rain etc.. i use at least four stakes and then wrap tomato tape around them to secure the various branches.

i use t-bone steaks. it's S-T-A-K-E-S and you can get bamboo ones at a walmart or casa depot. push em to the bottom, so you have more support.

ive used bamboo stakes b4 and put them in the soil halfway thru flowering real close to the main stock and everything was fine, didnt notice a thing.

yo-yos are plant hooks and work well if you have a place to hang them

the stakes wont hurt the roots... they are pretty tough... i also use thin wire you can bend and make my own hooks... it works great...
