Abstract: A support device and a method for its use with a plant for controlling and protecting plant growth. The device comprises a flexible band, a locking means, and a protective sheet. The method for use of the device comprises selecting a device of sufficient length to fit snuggly around the plant. The device is secured around the plant by the locking means. The locking means comprises engaging a flap into a perforation in the band. When the band is secured to the plant, the protective sheet can then be adjusted to lay between the plant and the perforations. The device may be adjustably secured around a plant, depending on the plant size, to hold the leaves and spikes of the plant in a generally vertical position. The device further provides protection for plants, allowing the plants to be densely packed together while in transit, thus maximizing the number of plants that can be transported safely.
