| I wanted to know where you but the orange tape that is tied around the cuttings to ID them? I really like using this. Right now, the cuttings that don't have this on them, are labelled with permanent marker and then the plastic cups are labelled. I feel safer if I could also use the tape. I want to be able to use this during the summer when there outdoors along with the metal marker.
Thank you, Andrew |

| Andrew- Come on- there's no such thing as a dumb question! We all ask about something :) I usually buy mine at Harbor Freight- it's called Surveyor's tape. I really like using cut up window blinds too, they make it so easy to quickly read them at a glance. And you can get so many from 1 blind! I especially use these in the gardens! kasha77 |

| You also can find it at Lowes and Home Depot. Pat |

| You can also use one that's sold in garden shops. It's pretty much the same thing but is green and not as wide, about 1/2". I think it's called tree tape but make sure it's the non adhesive stuff. What's nice is that both are stretchy and won't girdle the stems as they grow. |

| Yes- Karyn's right- be careful what you use- I accidentally let the tape slip below the soil line when I planted a few, and they did girdle the trunks and killed one plant. At first the plant started wilting, so I watered it more. When after a few weeks, I decided to dig up around the stem and saw that the tape was literally cutting off the circulation of the trunk and rotting it. I had to cut the plant down but I was able to make many more cuttings of it. I'm living and learning! kasha77 |

| Hi andrew 78, I use these. 3/4" x 7" Wrap around Tree & Hanging Plant Labels. Work great. Got these from urbanhousewife2010 on ebay. Eddie dewayne uses these on his cuttings. 100 labels for $10.90 Jerry |

| Gemplers carries about anything you could want for labeling including plastic, wood, metal tags. I order from them all the time and am very happy with their prices, service and delivery. They even have the ones like garden centers use. Tally HO! |
