이름표 관리4 Keeping record clivias

[석짜]

이름표에 대해서 제각기 관리 항목, 요령을 적어 놓고있네요.

여러가지로 참고가 되빈다.

이번 기회에 이름표와 관리대장을 제대로? 만들어봐야겠습니다.

I find it slightly amusing that many will spend quite a few $$$ on getting various clivia plants and seed, yet seen to skimp when it comes to the cost of growing medium, pots and the like...including tags.

I can highly recommend the Australian company – Aussie Plant Tags – for producing high quality and very affordable long-lasting (and UV stabilised) double-sided printed plant tags/labels. I have attached a couple of photos of examples I have had printed for seedlings. The ones in the photos are 125mm long x 25mm wide.

They cost around AUD 09 cents each, which is nothing compared to the value this information gives the plant. You simply email an Excel spreadsheet to APT, and the tags are returned in a number of days. You can buy smaller sized tags if you wish, and have the option of single sided printing, both sides or blank.

As you can see, you can fit a lot of information on the tags, and they look very tidy and professional. There is no minimum order.

I include:

·         Species name

·         Berry parent plant

·         Pollen parent

·         Colour expectancy

·         If the seedlings had green or pigmented stems at 12 months old

·         Breeders code and year (on base of tag)

·         Logo and Address/contact details (web, email, phone etc) on reverse of tag

All for less than 10 cents a tag!

Address is 9 The Grove, Boronia. Vic, 3155, Australia with the business run by David and Pauline Brewster.

The best of the fine black marking pens was the PILOT Scan-UF (Ultra Fine), unfortunately it appears that this version has been discontinued. Many have been caught using Sharpie’s that fade after 24 months – even faster if exposed to sunlight.

A 2B pencil also seems to be most popular with orchid enthusiasts.

Aussie Plant Tags also sell the Marking Pens and Pencils.

They can get the replacement pen for the pilot Scan-UF (Ultra Fine) which is the Pilot Scan-EF (Extra Fine) It is not quite as fine as the UF but apparently is still good for tags.

The pencil they recommend is the Stabilo 8008, not a cheap Chinese pencil but it is a rather expensive German made pencil that will write permanently on almost anything including glass, metal and plastic. They sell for $3.50

I don’t have any financial interest in this business at all, but am a very satisfied repeat customer!

Kind regards,

David

I agree! I have never understood this. I currently use a Brother P-Touch
label maker that prints weather- and UV-resistant labels on a laminated
tape. This tape strengthens a vinyl plastic label and adds years to its
lifetime.

If you don't want to print labels, a soft lead pencil works very well. I
have heavy polystyrene plastic pot labels made 10 years ago and written
with a soft lead pencil that are still legible.

I consider the label more important than the pot or growing medium. When
the label gets lost, the plant goes on the compost pile.

Hello,

Like Joan, I use mostly old aluminium blinds. I use a pair of Tullen snips to cut them into strips and smooth out the sharp points by scraping the edges on the concrete footpath. Pencil writing appear to last the longest. 

What we really need are 'snobby' seedlings (see attached photo) that hang on to their pedigrees for dear life!  By the way, the seedling is one of triplets that grew out of a single seed.  All 3 flowered yellow and were the same in flower shape and colour intensity.

Cheers,

Hau Ling,

Perth.

이름표는 물론이지만 관리 대장은 꼭 관리가 되어야 될것 같어요.....

[석짜]

저도 관리대장을 새로 만들까 하고 궁리중입니다.

[바풀때기]

뿌리가 짤리면 어떻한대요..?

[석짜]

그러게요. 아마 화분에 꽂아뒀는데 뿌리가 구멍으로 들어간거 아닐까요?
