Because even your houseplants deserve a little rockstar energy.

Add a hit of native bird magic to your indoor jungle or garden bed with our Tūī Plant Stake. Whether it’s nestled in a pot or supporting a leafy friend outside, this silhouette of Aotearoa’s most melodic bird brings charm, charisma, and support in equal measure. Made from premium 3mm Corten® steel, it naturally weathers into a beautiful patina over time.

This 2-piece stake is a plant lover’s dream – minimal, meaningful, and made to last.

70cm tall when assembled – contains two interlocking pieces (35cm each), approx. 300g
Easy to send – ships in a slim A4 box (30cm × 21cm × 1cm)
Speedy dispatch – same-day shipping for weekday orders before 2pm
Made in Aotearoa – produced locally in a family-run NZ workshop
Crafted to last – made from 3mm Corten® steel, designed to weather beautifully

    No stress, just success – here’s how to get growing.

    1. Slide the two pieces together until the joints are firmly aligned
    2. Choose your spot – soil, planter, or garden bed
    3. Insert into the soil at a slight angle for maximum stability
    4. Avoid the roots if placing in a smaller indoor pot
    5. Stand back and admire your instantly elevated plant game

    Top Tip: Stake alongside a trailing or climbing plant to give it something to lean on (and make the Tūī look like it’s perched mid-song).

    Can I use it outdoors?
    Yes! It’s made from weather-resistant Corten® steel, perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

    Will it rust?
    It’s designed to! Corten® steel develops a protective rust-like patina that gets better with age.

    What plants is it best for?
    Climbers, small shrubs, or any plant that could use a little structural support and a lot of style.

    Is it reusable?
    Absolutely. Move it between plants or keep it as a forever feature in your favourite pot.

    Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.

    When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.

    That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.

    This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.

    The Patina Process:

    At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.

    The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.

    what’s the word on the bird?
