ABSTRACT:
A plant stem protector includes a tubular sleeve having a slit arranged parallel relative to an axis of the tubular sleeve, with the tubular sleeve further including first and second radial flanges projecting exteriorly of the sleeve fixedly mounted thereto to permit compress of flanges towards one another to effect opening of the sleeve to permit a plant stem to be directed through the slit. A modification of the invention includes the sleeve having feed tubes mounted parallel relative to the axis of the slit to cooperate with a reservoir fluid fill structure to permit selective feeding of each plant relative to the stem structure of each plant when positioned within the sleeve structure.
