Plant support device

Abstract

A plant support device comprises a body 12 e.g., with a cylindrical bore 18, , mounting means e.g., a closed blind bore end, a traverse thumb screw or a hanging loop to support the device on, or to, a support structure e.g., a cane. A hanger structure 20 e.g., a spoked ring 22 or triangular attachments (118, Fig. 10) comprising at least one supporting element for securing one or more flexible supports e.g., string or twine. Converging slots may grip the twine. The plant support device provides support to a plant by securing one or more flexible supports between the hanger structure and the plant. The mounting means bore may be open or blind for mounting atop or around a cane or may be a hanger 28 with an aperture 30 for suspension. Alternatively, the device may be an ‘L shaped arrangement of semi-circular panels (Fig. 2), one mountable to a wall, the other to support the twine. Alternatively (Fig. 3), the device may be an elongate unitary body affixable to a wall with unitary or removable tabs protruding therefrom for supporting rods out of plane with the body. Alternatively, the device may be a tower-like structure of endcaps (Fig. 4) linked by longitudinal rods with a mounting plate intermediate the endcaps. An endcap may attach to a ground mounted baseplate (Fig. 9). Figure 1
