Hi y’all? I wanted to see what you recommended for indoor plant tools specifically shears for cutting off bad parts. Mine rusted and I want to get some small ones that aren’t expensive but good quality.

I like my moisture meter.

For small jobs, i use a fiskars micro-tip pruner. For general purpose, kitchen shears work well; they're small enough for the easy stuff but strong enough to cut through bone if needed, so they can handle tough woody growth. For bigger woody growth or if i need a cleaner cut, felco hand pruners. For anything bigger than that (mostly outdoor stuff but occasionally cactus propagation) i use a saw. Also to fix rust, clean it with "barkeepers friend" and oil it occasionally to keep it moving well
