Attempting LST techniques on your plant is easy and inexpensive. To start your LST campaign, we recommend you pick up the following from your hardware store before you start. -Twisty ties, green gardening string, or some plastic clips. -Sharp pruning scissors. -Duct tape – Get some tape with a silver color to prevent excess heat absorption during the sunlight hours of the day. -Stakes for driving into the ground. -A cordless electric drill if you have to drill holes in your pots.
