Abstract:
1. A method for promoting the growth of a plant, comprising: placing at least one spacing member in between at least a first limb and a second limb of the plant thereby increasing an amount of space between said limbs, wherein said spacing member receives the first limb at a first end of said spacing member in a recess formed between a first arm and a second arm extending from a body portion of said spacing member, and wherein said spacing member receives by receiving the second limb at a second end of said spacing member in a recess formed between a third arm and a fourth arm extending from said body portion of said spacing member; using a first color on a first side of each said at least one spacing member with said first color, said first color differentiates said spacing member from the plant, and using a second color on a second side of each said at least one spacing member with said second color configured for blending in with the plant; during a period of substantial plant growth and shaping the growth of the plant to be as desired, placing said at least one spacing member with said first side of said spacing member facing outwardly for easier spotting of said spacing member; and during a period of insubstantial plant growth, repositioning said placement of said at least one spacing member with said second side of said spacing member facing outwardly, said second side of said spacing member visually blends with the plant for making it difficult to see said at least one spacing member in the plant.
