Topsy Micro

thingiverse

Human: LST or Low Stress Training is exactly what many people want to do with their houseplants, but they just don't want to deal with garden ties or mess around with tiny trellises. I'm a big fan of growing small plants, but I've got other projects to focus on besides untangling netting all day. That's where the Topsy Micro comes in. The Topsy Micro is designed to bend branches at a precise 137° angle, allowing for more light penetration into lower plant areas without causing any damage. Plants seem to thrive when their branches are bent at this exact angle. Even with soft garden ties, accidents can still happen, and nothing is more heartbreaking than snapping a branch off your favorite plant. The Topsy Micro provides the perfect amount of bend in just the right spot, and it's incredibly easy to move around if you need to make adjustments. Just remove it and reposition it whenever you want. This design can be scaled up to fit most plant sizes, making it a versatile solution for any gardener. Keep in mind that this is still a work-in-progress, so there might be some minor changes along the way. However, from what I've seen with my multiple Topsy Micro installations, they're holding strong even after five months of use.
