Plants are not able to support their own weight because they don't have an internal skeleton like animals do. Instead, they rely on external support structures like the cell wall, interlocking branches and roots, and external support from other plants or structures. Plants also lack muscles and therefore the ability to actively move and contract to support their own weight. The main reasons why plants can't support their own weight are:

  • No internal skeleton
  • Reliance on external support
  • Lack of muscles
Without these key components, plants are unable to develop the strength and resilience to support their own weight.

Canes are used to provide support to plants as they grow, preventing them from bending or breaking under their own weight, especially in the case of tall or heavy plants. This support also helps to keep the plant upright, promotes good air circulation, and makes it easier to access the plant for pruning or harvesting.

How can I effectively use plant twine to support and train my garden plants?

To effectively use plant twine to support and train your garden plants, start by tying the twine loosely around the base of the plant and then gently guide the stems along the twine as they grow. Regularly check and adjust the twine as needed to provide proper support and encourage vertical growth. This will help prevent the plants from bending or breaking under their own weight and promote healthy growth.


Why do plants with weak stems have to climb upwards?

Plants with weak stems climb upwards to reach sunlight for photosynthesis and to avoid being shaded by taller plants. Climbing also helps them reach a sturdy support structure to prevent them from collapsing under their own weight.
