Weight of flowering causing bending

Looking for suggestions on how to best support my white widow outdoor plants that are starting to bend as buds fill in.
I take pots in at night so thinking it has to be either support sticks to outside of containers but can i usesomething such as bambo and sink into the soil without damaging too much of the root structure?
Thanks for the help

Welcome to the Canna-Fam Growmie :love_you_gesture:. You can use bamboo stakes it will be fine. Long as you go slow when pushing them down also try and stay near the outside of the pot.

I guess having too much weight is a good problem to have!
Appreciate you.

No worries Growmie :call_me_hand: I had one get root bound last year and had to take a bamboo stake and poke holes all through her soil to get the water to drain without issues

Bring them in at night for total darkness because sometimes my neighbor turns his flood lights on and forgets to turn them off.
Plus, between all of overnight thunderstorms we been having lately just gives a better piece of mind
