Did you grow it without staking the flower stem?

 

[SlipperFan]

Beautiful Phrag. Tall Tails!

 

[Nikolaus]

Eric,
yes without flower stem. Just as you see it on the picture. I don´t like this stems and as long as possible I do not use them

OK Nickolas. the stem is the natural growth of the plant the Holzen support is the stake.
