# I'm so excited, I have three new plants but I have a situation…

_Posted by Betty on 2025-09-04_

I'm so excited, I have three new plants but I have a situation needing help with one. The tall Snake plant had the top intertwined with rubber bands and was cutting off life. I removed it but what do I use to keep it going that way but not harm the plant??

You could tie some twine around it? Easier to control how tight it is that way

Try plant Velcro that come on rolls. Put the fuzzy side to the plant. 🪴🍀
