    Tweezers, tongs, and makeup brushes. There are so many plants that dont like to be touched due to the oils from our skin.

    My brita filter. Our tap here has some weird stuff that kinda suffocates the roots and prolonged root growth as well as new leaves. Once I noticed this, I started switching some of my pothos to filtered water. When they started taking off, I made the change for all my plants. They’re a lot happier and are more resilient than ever today.

      This. I use my Zero Water filter to water all my indoor plants. Several don't like this hard FL tap water.

    I use upside-down storage containers as cloches. They’re much cheaper than actual cloches. 😆 I also found these mason jar tops that I use a couple different ways – I put them at the bottom of the decorative pots to prop up the nursery pot that’s in it without blocking its drainage holes. They can also be used to support props and cuttings inside a mason jar.

      Found them at the dollar store! ☺️ I’m sure they sell them on Amazon too.

    Metal chopsticks for checking soil moisture. Of course I could only find them in packs of 5 sets so they are all over the place

    Also, boot mats or trays. For bottom watering or setting plants on to drain after watering

    I found adding water to my mini greenhouse humidifiers was a pain. Since my husband loves hot sauce I found myself with an abundance of empty glass hot sauce bottles so I use them for prop and I fill em with water, put them on my plant heat pad to increase humidity in case I forget to replace the water in my humidifiers 😬.

    Yogurt/fruit cups are so useful for starting plants from seed. Also wooden chopsticks! I use them to help support small plants

    Throw away chopsticks for everything. Use them to help support shorter plants, gently move soil etc. also I use a baking pan for bottom watering my plants, I can do multiple or my big ones, it’s a lifesaver.
