Plant clips for a healthy crop

The primary function of clips is to support plant growth and enhance overall health. By securely fastening plants to stakes or other supports, clips ensure that they remain upright and stable, reducing the risk of damage. This support enables plants to transform their energy into growth, resulting in improved yields and healthier crops.

Typically crafted from plastic, clips are available in assorted sizes to accommodate different stem diameters. Some are tailored for specific plant types or supports, while others offer versatility for a wide range of plants and support structures.

Did you know? Besides clipping plants, there is another technique for securing them: the winding technique.

Advantages of Valent Clips

Valent Clips are renowned for their top-notch quality and versatility. These clips offer numerous benefits, particularly in terms of promoting healthy growth and saving labour costs. Let's explore three key advantages of Valent Clips:

1. Labour cost savings

Valent Clips are easy and quick to install, saving growers time and effort. Their rounded edge design also prevents tearing disposable gloves while applying the clips. Unlike some other types of plant clips, Valent Clips are easily reopened, allowing for clip removal or replacement without the need for special tools or equipment. This simplicity significantly reduces the time and labour required for clipping plants, resulting in substantial savings on labour costs.

2. Audible click mechanism

Valent Clips feature an audible click mechanism, indicating when the clip is securely fastened. This audible click provides reassurance and prevents over-tightening, which could harm delicate plant stems. This feature reduces the risk of plant damage and assists employees in securely fastening the clips.
