Will this pole support a ficus plant?

I think so, but depends on the size of the pot full of dirt. I am very happy with this pole and it seems quite sturdy, but just use it for a humming bird feeder. (I just went out and pulled on the hook for added weight and it seemed fine ~ have you thought about the pole with two hangers, as that would even up the weight and keep from pulling the pole out of the ground??

It should, if the base is pushed down into the ground far enough and if the soil around the base doesn't get a lot of water.

Depends on the size of the plant, of course, but yes! These are much sturdier than other poles I have tried. 10 lbs would be ok, I think.

It is a very sturdy plant stand. I think it would work. I have a very large, very heavy, ceramic pot on it with a Japanese Maple planted in.

The pole is tension mounted. Not sure how much weight it will support, but am sure that it would support at least 250 or more lbs. as an aide for standing up.

The pole holder is about 2 inches in diameter. Our umbrella pole is smaller. Therefore if your umbrella pole is less than 2 inches, it should fit just fine. This is a great umbrella stand - very heavy!

Yes it will work just the pole will be longer than you need but if you just split the extra some of the right & some on left should be ok

I would say yes, I hooked mine onto a tree by adding a swivel hook. So you may have to head over to the hardware store for a swivel hook but that should do it.

I'm almost positive but I am out of town. I have a 2 piece pole and was going to send this one back. I'll be happy to check and give you a definitive answer on Saturday 04/27/13. Sorry

Yes, but it depends on how heavy the potted plants are (after you add water to soil). The arm itself is metal and strong.

No, it wouldn't work. I did see some others on Amazon that were designed for pole mounting though.

no, could possibly work with appropriate hook ups to stabilize pole. pole keeps tipping over

It probably is strong enough to do this as long as you overlap the velcro onto itself enough, and if the tree limbs are small enough. You'd probably need to use more than one piece to hold the branches. It's worth giving it a try.

Not that I'm aware of...the frame doesn't have anything that would support a center pole...

It would depend on the diameter of the pole. I think it is designed to be used on a pole with an approximate diameter of 2".

If it's a ficus... Yes. A juniper thrives outside and will not last too long inside

That size of a softbox is probably too heavy for most extension poles. It certainly would be for this one. I use mine to support an Alien Bee with a 24X24" softbox and it works great though.

We use the stand for a "market umbrella" that's quite large. Not sure what the pole diameter is but I think it's a standard size. Good luck!

Absolutely but the screw that secures it in the base of the pole does not secure the top part . waiting for a resolution
