Flo 88806 plant tie/wire

Flo 88806 plant tie/wire is a thin, flexible fastening solution made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) designed for securing stems, branches and vines in gardens, nurseries and indoor plant arrangements. With a 0.5 mm diameter, this single-piece tie provides gentle support without cutting into plant tissue, allowing for controlled training and stabilization of plants.

Advantages

The PVC construction offers weather resistance and flexibility, maintaining shape while accommodating plant growth. Its slim 0.5 mm profile is discreet and easy to hide among foliage, and the single-piece pack simplifies small jobs or trial use. The material is resistant to moisture and mild outdoor conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacement compared with untreated ties.

Suitable for

• Tying young stems and seedlings to supports or stakes
• Training climbing plants such as vines and tomatoes
• Securing cuttings in propagation trays
• Temporary repairs and light fastening tasks in greenhouse and indoor plants

Key specifications

• Material: polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Diameter: 0.5 mm
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack
• Color: typically green or black (may vary by batch)
• Flexibility: high, suitable for delicate stems

How to use

Wrap the Flo 88806 plant tie/wire gently around the plant stem and its support, leaving a small gap to allow growth and movement. Twist or knot the tie to secure the plant without tightening directly on the stem; if necessary, fold the tie to create a protective loop. For repeated use, inspect ties periodically for wear and replace when rigidity increases or if visible damage appears.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use ties on young or lightweight stems and combine with wider ties or soft plant tape for heavier branches. Store the tie in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong material life. Avoid using a single thin tie as the sole support for large or mature plants.
