Ram-Pro 20 Piece Green Gentle Gardening Plant & Flower Lever Loop Gripper Clips, Tool for Supporting or Straightening Plant Stems, Stalks, and Vines, Garden Clips

Staking my indoor tomato plants has been an issue for me, and I've tried several different methods. The attempt to control and manage the growth of plants has always been met with one or more problems. It is best to remove some of the suckers when you are growing tomatoes, but allowing some to grow will allow the plant to branch. It is true that the suckers produce tomatoes, but with too many of them, the tomatoes will be smaller. So, the trick is to allow a tiny amount of branching with some suckers, but not enough that the tomatoes don't grow properly. It has been my experience to use plastic stakes 4' to 6' long and tie the stems to the stakes with twist ties sold for staking plants in the past. Plant stems have to be tied to a stake or another plant stem with twist ties after they have been cut to the right length. This can be a real pain. Eventually, the plants' ties will need to be untwisted, and they will have to be moved to a better position. There is no doubt that this can be a tedious task depending on the plant's size. The stakes that I bought come with crossbars that can attach to two stakes so the plant's branches can rest on the crossbars while breathing. The problem with this approach, though, is that stakes must be spaced according to the crossbars' length. The stakes must be equally spaced around the plant at the bottom and top, which may sound simple, but it requires very precise spacing. It appears that even when the stakes are evenly spaced out, this method confines the growth of the plant, preventing it from getting enough airborne. Weeds die and die off the leaves on the interior of the plant when this happens. This allows me to place stakes wherever they are needed and clamp the stems to the stakes without the growth being constrained in the manner of twist ties. The stakes are also spaced equally, so I shouldn't have to worry about that. Plant stakes can be placed where they are needed, and depending on how quickly the plants grow it may be possible to clamp two stems together at the same time. The plant stems are inserted into the opening of this clamp, which is attached to the stake by a small part. As such, the plant stems are not held in place by This makes moving the clamps much easier than taking out twist ties as the plants grow. There's no adjusting or rotating involved with these clamps. The stem of the plant can be inserted in the larger opening of the clamp, and the stake can then be clamped to the smaller opening. Plastic clamps for multiple seasons made of heavy duty plastic should last a long time. Clamps of this nature are available for a variety of plants, both larger and smaller in size. When clamping thin stems, the small clamps work best, while the large clamps work best when clamping thicker stems, such as tomato base stems. A large clamp and a small clamp can both hold at least two stems as long as the stem holding part of the clamp is fitting properly. It has been reported that some reviewers found the clamps easy to break. One or two of them broke, and I threw them away. It was fortunate that the garbage wasn't taken out, so I could get them when I realized they weren't really damaged. In situations where the stems are too thick or there is too much tension on the clamps, the hinge part snaps apart. The hinge can be easily fixed by simply snapping it back together and re-installing the wire that functions I am very glad that I found these clamps, as I have had no problems with My order for the bigger clamp package has already been placed. It is highly recommended to use these clamps at least for tomato plants. It is so much easier to use them than other options and they even help your plants grow healthier. Please note that this review is written in the hope that you find it helpful. In the event that my opinion changes, I will update this review.

There was a need for good clips and these work ok, but the small ones are always too small and the large ones are always One must make adjustments to use them effectively. They are heavy as well. The binders I used were expensive, but at least they did not cut into the stalk. I used twist ties for the closure, but you had to be careful to keep them loose (making them useless as a result) or they would hurt They work, but tend to break easily
and are for small stalks. The spring action orchid clips do also work, but they take up more space. Keeping searching is the best option.

I love these plant support clips because they are so easy to use. Placement is simple enough to be done with one hand You can reclip the plants as they grow. They are in my shed after I have cleaned out my shed in the fall. Plant the seeds in the spring and reuse them. After my first purchase, I've gone through 6 growing seasons and they're still going strong The summer months are filled with many storms.

Plants love these clips for holding them upright. It is easy to move them as your plants grow, it will last for years if you store it after the growing season, there is no having to deal with ties that can cut into stems, nor can it be reused. Some of mine have been with me for 4 years. It's not hard to repair the older ones if the spring slips out of the groove they are super easy to repair and you can use them again immediately. In the summer before my tomato plants seem to grow a foot or two overnight, I hang extra cages on my tomato cages so I have them handy in case they grow a foot or two overnight and I do not want to go back to the shed and look for more cages. I like it a lot. Plus, they are super easy to put on while wearing garden gloves.

These are the little things I love. The clips were used to clip heavier stems in front of or together with one Also, I clipped cages together to keep them standing straight with them. The tomato plants tipped and grew heavily to one side. I'll be putting netting on them soon when the tomatoes start to ripen and birds are able to find To clip the netting, I'm going to use these little babies! Last season, I used clothes pins, but the netting got caught in the tops, making it very difficult to work with the netting and to pick it up/remove it!.

I have two vegetable gardens and these came in handy. With those tall metal trellises, I'll be able to clip the stalks to each other easily, and the branches to one another to make the jungle look neat and tidy. With any clip, tie, or more delicate device you have to be careful not to crush fragile stalks like those of pumpkin and zucchini, but since we have strong chicken wire surrounding the gardens I can attach it to an object like a trellis to secure some delicate flowers! It took me a lot less time to go through the entire back than I I am so glad I found these! They have helped me organize I've also been using them to clip shade cloth over the beds in this LA heat wave, and they're super secure and easy to remove. They've already been recommended to many friends of mine. I was worried they'd feel cheap. Nevertheless, they are very durable and I see them lasting for a very long time. I am totally obsessed with plant Velcro when it comes to securing more fragile stalks (like Brussels sprouts). The concept I originally thought was a gimmick has now made sense to me. Thanks to the combo, I have been able to accomplish so much!.
