Happy New Years to everyone in the West!
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but it is working so well for me, I thought I'd share it. Here in the States, the clothes pins have two different sized holes drilled in them for different sized clothes line ropes. In training very young plants, when you have a limb/leaf you want to get out of the way, just clip a clothes hanger on the leaf/limb using the holes for a limb and the pinch point for the tip of a leaf. The weight of the clothes pin will pull it down where you want it. You can use multiple pins for hard to move ones, or even tape a coin to the pin and it will really pull it down. You can also slowly add weight to carefully position a limb. Dang it, edited again for clarification. The clothes pins I speak of have a metal spring between two pieces of shaped wood. NOT just the sawed out, one piece, clothes pins.
