Types of Plant Ties and Fasteners
Plant Ties and fasteners play several roles in gardening. They keep plants upright and
support heavy or fragile stems. They help guide the growth of climbing plants or those with flexible habits. They are also very useful in the vegetable garden, particularly for supporting tomato plants or green beans on stakes. Ties reduce the risk of damage caused by wind, rain, or the weight of fruits. Finally, if you want a well-organized garden, they will be your allies!
Twines and Ropes
They are available in different materials, including cotton, jute, sisal, and nylon.
Raffia can be colored to add some pep to your plantings! These natural materials are often biodegradable and have less resistance over time (except for nylon, which resists weather well but can damage the most fragile plants).
Plant Ties - Ribbons and Bands
Ribbons and bands are wide and flexible. Fabric, soft and flexible, is perfect for delicate plants but needs to be tied correctly to avoid slipping. Rubber bands are stretchy and allow plants to grow without being restricted. They are weather-resistant and can be cut to the desired length.
Plastic Ties
Plastic ties are popular due to their durability and ease of use.
Twist ties resemble those used for freezer bags and are easy to use and reusable. However, they can break under heavy loads or extreme conditions.
Plastic clips are convenient for quickly attaching stems to stakes. They come in various sizes and shapes to suit different plants. They are reusable but can become brittle over time.
Cable ties, also known as zip ties or ratchet ties, are very strong and adjustable. They are perfect for heavy plants or fast-growing ones but are less eco-friendly as they are often single-use.
Metal Ties
Metal ties, such as
wire or coated wire, are extremely robust and suitable for plants requiring very strong support. Use them mainly for heavy plants or young trees. The wire should be coated or wrapped to avoid injuring the stems.
Coated twist ties are covered with plastic and offer durability and gentleness for plants. They are reusable and weather-resistant.
How to Attach and Use Plant Ties ?
Proper use of ties and fasteners is essential to ensure optimal Plant Ties without causing damage. First,
positioning aims to tie plants at regular intervals along the stake. Don't tie too tightly to allow for growth and avoid strangling the stem. Next, the
material must be well-chosen. Opt for soft and non-abrasive materials for fragile plants and more robust materials for heavy plants. An automatic tying tool will make it easier to attach metal ties. Finally, ensure that the ties are securely fastened but not too tight. Check regularly and adjust if necessary to accommodate the plant's growth.
