The green Biflex soft tie wire is an indispensable tool for gardeners seeking a secure yet gentle fastening solution. The strong metal core provides the necessary hold and stability, while the 6.5 mm thick foam coating protects plant stems from friction, cuts, and bruising.
This solution is particularly well-suited for supporting plants with heavy fruit (such as tomatoes and cucumbers) or young ornamental shrubs and perennials growing in windy conditions. The flexibility of the wire allows for the creation of custom-shaped supports as required by the specific plant, keeping stems straight and secure against the support. The green color helps the wire remain inconspicuous within the foliage, maintaining the natural look of the garden. The 5-meter roll is easy to cut to desired lengths, and the material is weather-resistant, withstanding both sun and rain.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Cut a piece of wire of the required length from the roll using garden pliers or heavy-duty scissors.
-
Wrap the wire around the plant stem and the support stake. The foam coating allows the wire to be applied relatively tightly around the plant without damaging the tissues.
-
Form a secure knot or loop by twisting the ends of the wire together. Leave some space around the plant stem to allow it to thicken unimpeded during the summer.
Tips and recommendations:
-
When supporting heavy fruit clusters (such as large beefsteak tomatoes or grapes), always install the wire below the cluster’s branching point to prevent the stem from breaking under the weight of the harvest.
-
During the autumn garden cleanup, collect the wire pieces and straighten them – thanks to the durable metal and foam construction, they are successfully reusable for subsequent seasons.
-
This 6.5 mm thick soft wire is also an excellent choice for discreetly tying large houseplants (e.g., Monstera, Philodendron) to support poles.
