To help the cement adhere to the tree, wrap a heavy gauge wire around the trunk and leave several inches of wire sticking out on either side of the trunk. You can do this several times for better grip. For smaller plants and flowers you can drive a nail through the base of the stem or wrap a heavy gauge wire.
