ABSTRACT:
A plant system is preferably made of plastic and even more preferably made of clear acrylic structural members. Such acrylic members take on the color of the surrounding plants and "blend" into the background created by the plants. The acrylic members have abbreviated length attachment members which extend from opposite sides of the structural members, and the attachment members have a differing diameter. The outermost portion has a smaller diameter which facilitates the initial overfitting of a plastic strap having a plurality of apertures. The strap is moved to surround the plant portion to be supported and the other end's aperture is also fitted over the attachment member. The resulting loop extends widely around the plant portion giving it adequate room for growth and further extension through the loop. The system, including the structural members and attachment members can be interconnected using a series of connectors to form a trellis or other support shape.
