upport Plants
Fruiting plants may produce so much fruit that
plants begin to tip over or break. If this occurs, support
plants and bring them to the upright position by securing
each plant to Lamp Arm with a tie .
! Do not use ties that will dig into (and damage) stem, such as string
or wire . Also avoid materials that stretch, such as stretch ties sold
in gardening shops, as these are not strong enough to support
fruit-filled branches .
