Plant Velcro, you can get it on Amazon or any home improvement store like Lowe’s or Home Depot. It’s soft and reusable.

I found these Velcro things at the grocery store and use them for tieing my plants to poles! No marks or damage on my plants :)

Put some tissue paper between the Velcro and plant 😶‍🌫️

I use little tinsel tie wraps lightly (the ones you use to hold your chargers and cables in a neat loop)

Plant Velcro works well. It’s sold by the roll. Cut the needed length. Put the fuzzy side to the plant to prevent abrasions. The top tape is properly installed. The bottom tape…not so much!😅
