Thanks, Robin.
I did not know Fogg-It sold tags. I have used their watering wands forever and love that you can buy the replacement parts. For small pots like I have for the mini and dwarf pels, the Fogg-It wand and nozzle along with the very narrow diameter hose from Charley's years ago work great for my situation. You can make those hoses yourself, but I am not sure how.

| Dear Joe:
I buy tags, 10,000 at a time, from Fogg-It Nozzle Company in Belmont California for my nursery I use a .5mm lead pencil. I have been told that the tags last for a long time, although they do get brittle eventually. I believe that you can buy Fogg-It Labels in regular nurseries, at least in Northern California. Tucking the tag down well into the container also helps to preserve them from sunlight.

Hi, Joe,
I agree re the brittle tags. I think I have found a source that are flexible, and will let you know after I have used them if they also become brittle.
I find that even in the greenhouse, the permanent markers fade after a few years. Am now using pencil, though it can blur if rubbed. Maybe marker on one side, pencil on the other? It is a problem. In the greenhouse, I try to keep the pots in sort of alpabetical order just in case as I will then have a better clue.
Hope all is well with you guys.

what is the best way to tag your plants. I have tried all I think and they fade and the plastic gets brittle. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi- Nice to hear what other people have in their collections. If you need more cuttings, come to South Bay Geranium Society Oct. meeting. We're doing propagation and everyone brings cuttings. I can send you the newsletter if you want. Let me know.
