Available in 12-inch and 16-inch sizes, the Down Under Plant Stand lifts pots to allow air flow and prevents water damage to decking, wooden floors and carpets.

The sections are easily cut to adjust and hide under any size pot, and the stand supports up to 500 lbs. The 12-inch stand easily adjusts to pots with a 4- to 12-inch base; the 16-inch stand easily adjusts to pots and planter with a 10- to 16-inch base.

Available in terra cotta, clear, black and forest green, the plant stand eliminates the staining problems that potted plants can cause. Moisture that accumulates under pots, from condensation or overfilling the tray quickly evaporates.

It protects decks and patios from stains and rot while stopping the build-up of dirt and insects, and reduces costly maintenance.

The stand is currently available at Provencher Garden Home & Gift Shop, River Road, Lewiston, 783-9777; Estabrook’s Farm, 337 East Main St, Yarmouth, 846-4398, or by ordering through the web site, www.theplantstandco.com
