Am brainstorming on a plant related craft project and wanted to get some input from actual plant people.

When you think about the small items you use for plant care (stuff like zip ties/velcro, tweezers, shears, plant tags, orchid clips, small stakes, mini scoop, etc.) --what do you use most?

My most used items are microfiber dusting gloves, plant mat, shears, moisture meter, measuring cups, ceylon cinnamon powder, and the Planta app of course 💚

Very interesting! What do you use the measuring cups for?

#### Robinoki 🧚🏽 replied on 2025-07-24

to measure the amount of water i put into my smaller plant pots and/or to make sure im using the correct quantities when im mixing mediums/fertilizers..i can be quite heavy handed

Only counting small items similar to the examples you gave, mine are little fingernail sized scissors for pruning small things, measuring spoons to add liquid fertilizer to water or make a batch of cleaning/neem spray, twine, and a soft makeup brush for dusting off leaves when I don’t wanna do a full plant clean

Super helpful thanks!!

I use the scissors weekly to trim the plants. I use wooden meat skewers to stake and to check the moisture level in the soil each day for my 200 plants. I use the makeup brush and rubber ball syringe to dust the leaves.

Zipties and my snips
