Abstract
Systems and methods for directing plant growth include a first attachment unit and a second attachment unit, both units being identical. Each attachment unit includes a body. A linking head is connected to the body and has at least one or a tab and a plurality of grooves. The linking head is substantially circular in shape. Each attachment unit also includes a linking base connected to the body and having another of a tab and a plurality of grooves. The linking base of the first unit is sized to fit together with the linking head of the second unit. The linked attachment units are angularly positionable by placing the tab into one of the plurality of grooves. The system also includes at least one band connectable between the attachment units and a plant.

A system for directing plant growth, comprising:
- a first attachment unit and a second attachment unit, wherein the attachment units are identical, and wherein each attachment unit comprises:
- a body;
- a linking head connected to the body and having at least one of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking head is substantially circular in shape;
- and
- a linking base connected to the body and having another of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking base of the first unit is sized to fit together with the linking head of the second unit, and wherein the linked attachment units are angularly positionable by placing the tab into one of the plurality of grooves;
- and
- at least one band connectable between the attachment units and a plant.
A system for directing plant growth, comprising:
- a first attachment unit and a second attachment unit, wherein the attachment units are identical, and wherein each attachment unit comprises:
- a body;
- a linking head connected to the body and having at least one of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking head is substantially circular in shape;
- and
- a linking base connected to the body and having another of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking base of the first unit is sized to fit together with the linking bead of the second unit, and wherein the linked attachment units are angularly positionable by placing the tab into one of the plurality of grooves;
- a plant;
- and
- at least one band connectable between the attachment units and the plant, wherein the plant is directed according to the angular position of the linked attachment units.
A method of directing plant growth, comprising the steps of:
- linking at least a first attachment unit and a second attachment unit, wherein the attachment units are identical, and wherein each attachment unit comprises:
- a body;
- a linking head connected to the body and having at least one of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking head is substantially circular in shape;
- and
- a linking base connected to the body and having another of:
- a tab and a plurality of grooves, wherein the linking base of the first unit is sized to fit together with the linking head of the second unit;
- positioning the linked attachment units against a stem of a plant;
- connecting at least one band between the attachment units and the plant;
- and
- angularly positioning the plant by placing the tab into one of the plurality of grooves.
