What is a "cane"?
A cane is a long and thin stick made from wood, metal, or the strong, hollow stems of plants like bamboo, used to support growing plants. It is placed next to tall or climbing plants to help them stay upright and avoid damage from wind or their own weight. Gardeners gently tie plants to the cane with soft ties or string to guide their growth safely.
