Garden markers to the rescue
I was walking around the garden a couple of days ago. I'm trying to recall the names of some flowers and plants that caught my attention. We recently acquired new species of bonsai. I was asking my partner every time when she finally told me to figure out the best way to remember the names. Plant label came first in my head.
I hurriedly search online and found www.metalgardenmarkers.com selling plant stakes among others. We could just have make our own garden marker out of some wires but doing it over and over again, at least to me, doesn't make sense. Getting them online by bulk makes life easier for us.
We actually have labels on our plant made out of paper and pasted to the pots but soon we found out that it doesn't last long. And it leaves semi permanent mark on the pots making reuse of pots hard.
Their plant stakes too seem tempting. For anybody who's been staking plants know that they should be stable enough to hold the plant if it's not able to support it's body. And they should last long. Being exposed to moisture all the time takes a toll on the stakes, markers and labels.
