Reddit reviews 300 FEET x 1/2" 4mil Thick Stretch Tie Tape Plant Garden Green Vinyl Stake

I second taping it up. I normally just use plant tie tape but any sort of tape (even duct) will work assuming you take it off a few weeks later. With the plant tie stuff I just wrap it around the break and knot it since it's not sticky. Works great and will even give support to a branch that's dangling.

I don't know why everyone uses weird shit.

I use Plant Training Tape.
That's designed for this exact use.


I can see advantages to using twisty ties or something but the training tape is best IMO.

You can easily tighten or loosen it and it naturally stretches a bit to allow the plant to grow.

This what you "should" use. It's made for these exact issues. However electrical tape or duct tape will work fine but you'll want to change out the tape as the plant will continue to grow and this could cause other issues.

Yeah I think especially when the plant tries to reach for light they will poke into it. There’s special plant tape available for this purpose. Check this out, it expands with the growth of the plant. https://www.amazon.com/Thick-Stretch-Plant-Garden-Green/dp/B00DG75DS8?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

Be careful with using wire twist ties like that for plant staking since they do not have any give. Ideally want to use something like this that has a bit of stretch to it otherwise make sure the tie is loose enough to allow for growth.
