To secure plants to a support structure and encourage upright growth, gently adjust plant ties to hold stems firmly against stakes or trellises. Use soft, flexible materials (e.g., garden twine, Velcro straps, or rubber-coated wire) to avoid damaging the plant. Position ties at intervals along the stem, ensuring they are snug but not tight, allowing room for natural thickening. Regularly check and loosen ties as the plant grows to prevent girdling. This method stabilizes the plant, promotes vertical development, and improves air circulation for healthier growth.
