A plurality of filaments are secured at their upper ends at spaced locations around the ring, with their lower ends being above the lower end of the rod. The training support is inserted or secured in a growing medium next to a plant, with the plant stem secured to the central rod, and with lower ends of the filaments secured in gentle tension to upper ends of the branches of the plant.
