Very strong lights and something to shape them around. For the "corkscrew" shape they have the young plant and a rod of some sort with really strong light off to the side. When the plant starts growing in that direction, they just keep turning it so its always going for the light. You can't just "shove" it in a wierd shape, it takes a really long time.
as they grow braid like you would your hair.turning to the light every now and then
