Vtete 50 PCS Large Size Orchid Clips and Garden Support Clips Green (Not with Flower and Plant Spike)

Very good little antenna! Was able to bring in a channel that I couldn't get anymore due to a change, but this one brought it in! So happy, and happy especially with the price! Also love that it has an extra long cord for better placement in the room

I LOVE these clips! They are not super strong but to me this is a good thing. I wanted clips to secure my climbing tomato plants to wire cages and also a rope trellis. These clips are large enough to hold the growing tomato branches as well as that to which they are fastened. These clips are strong enough to hold the plant to the support, but not so strong as to injure or squeeze the plant. ZERO were broken on arrival and I've already put on 30 of the 50 I ordered. I've just reordered another 50 for myself and a set for my neighbor. Prior to these clips I have been using lightweight garden Velcro and also the figure 8 green plastic clips. The Velcro style is of course handy in that it can accommodate whatever size you need. But it takes just a bit more time to wind or unwind when adjusting and also the Velcro loses holding power over time. The figure 8 plastic clips are formed from plastic with edges and they scratch the plants while installing/removing or just from the wind causing the plant to rub on the sharp edges. These clips I am reviewing have smoother edges so I don't anticipate the same damage to my plants, and these clips are easier to install & remove. Gave 4 starts instead of 5 for sturdiness because they are not super sturdy but one should not expect them to be so. These are meant to be a lighter touch, not a heavier sturdy impervious style.

These were a bit larger than I wanted, my mistake. But they are a good size for larger vines and larger trellis such as bamboo. I will buy a smaller size and will then be all set!

The product info made it clear that these are very large clips, but I decided to try them anyway for staking my orchids because sometimes the more standard ones seem too tight. These large clips work out in some areas but are too large in others. I will need an assortment of both large and small clips for my orchids.

These are larger than I expected. They are really too large for orchid stems, because they slide right down the stake. Most of the clips I already have are a fine size, (for Oncidiums and mini and most Phalaenopsis) but then some stems of the larger Phalaenopsis are really thick and seem to be constricted by the clips. That's why I'm looking for a larger clip. I think--where I'm having a problem--is that the measurements mentioned don't make it clear what dimension the measurement is of. There should be pictures that show the measurements. That would help choose the right one. Also, this is a very dark green, almost black. And, the fingers are a bit pliable and the hinges loose. Often the fingers tough point to point, instead of fingers "laced" or side-by-side.

Sturdy

Do the job.

I use these to attach and direct my outdoor vines (clematis and annuals) to trellises. Works well on trellis supports that are less than 1/2” in size. I bring them in during winter months and have reused for several years.
