Hydrofarm Plant Tie, 150' x 1/2", 8 mil

Stretchable Tie Tape for Training Plants to a Stake or Trellis

A tie that doesn't stretch can cut into a stem as it thickens over the growth cycle, leaving a constriction that stresses or damages the plant right at the point it's supposed to be supported. Hydrofarm Plant Tie is a 150ft roll of tie tape that stretches as the plant grows, so it stays secure without cutting into stems the way a rigid tie can.

It works well for flowers, vines, and vegetables that need extra support: cut the roll to the length needed and secure the branch to a stake or trellis, and it also fits the Hydrofarm Plant Strapper as replacement tape.

Key Features & Benefits

• Stretches as Plants Grow — The 8 mil material expands instead of cutting into thickening stems.

• Suited for Flowers, Vines, and Vegetables — Provides extra support to a range of plant types.
• Fits the Plant Strapper — Also works as replacement tape for the Hydrofarm Plant Strapper (HGTG).

Who Should Use This Plant Tie

Growers training vines, securing top-heavy flowers, or supporting vegetable plants on a stake or trellis will find this stretch tie tape useful, including as replacement tape for the Plant Strapper.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this roll of plant tie?

The roll measures 150ft, which is enough to tie a large number of plants before running out. Cut it to whatever length each individual tie needs.

Will this tie cut into my plant's stems?

No, it's designed to stretch as the plant grows rather than staying rigid like some tie materials. That stretch is what keeps it from constricting a stem as it thickens.

How do I secure a stem with this tie tape?

Cut a length of tape long enough to wrap around both the stem and the stake or trellis, then tie it with enough slack for the stem to keep growing. Check ties periodically and loosen or replace them as stems continue to thicken.

What plants is this tie suited for?

It works well for flowers, vines, and vegetables that benefit from being trained or supported. Any plant with a stem that needs securing to a stake or trellis is a reasonable fit.

Does this work with the Plant Strapper?

Yes, it's also used as replacement tape for the Hydrofarm Plant Strapper (HGTG). Growers already using that tool can restock with this roll rather than buying a new device.
