A plant support device for supporting the weight of a limb, branch or other plant segment by interacting with both the plant and a supporting string or wire. The plant support device is preferably made of a semi-rigid plastic and generally includes first and second curved portions, a hinge and a locking mechanism. During installation, the plant support device is placed around both the plant and the supporting string, and is then squeezed together such that the first and second curved portions pivot about the hinge and connect via the locking mechanism such that the closed device is ring-shaped. The hinge is designed to securely attach to the string such that in use the plant support device is suspended from the string and can carry the weight of the plant without sliding down the string. Furthermore, the first and second curved portions preferably include protruding, notched ridges for improved gripping and manipulation.
