Plants can be wonderful additions to your household, brightening up any space with colour. To retain their natural beauty, you will need to make sure they are well looked after. In this guide, you can discover how hook-and-loop products manufactured by the brand VELCRO® can be especially useful when it comes to plant care in your home.

Labelling Plants

Knowing the names of your plants can often help you to understand more about how they will grow, and to easily consult a plant expert when you suspect something might be wrong. Using VELCRO® Brand products, you should be able to craft labels for your plants, helping you to easily identify and remind yourself of their names.

Labels can also help let you and other members of your household know when the plant was last watered, preventing it from becoming too dry or overwatered. To do so, attach a laminated piece of paper to a nearby surface using VELCRO® tape. You should then be able to write the watering date using a whiteboard marker onto the laminated paper.

Organising Plant Care Tools

Plant care tools are often important for looking after your plants properly, so having them organised and close by can be beneficial. Common plant care tools include watering cans and trowels. To organise your plant care tools in a space-saving manner, try hanging your tools up by their handles. VELCRO® cable ties can be useful in creating a loop around the handle, which you can then use to hang them on hooks or nails nearby.

Securing Plant Pots

If you’re living with pets, you may find that your belongings are easily knocked off of your surfaces. When it comes to plants, getting knocked from their shelf can often result in a smashed plant pot and plant damage. To protect your plants from falling, try using strips of VELCRO® Brand tape to secure the pots to the surface they sit on. These strips aren’t visible under your plants, meaning you needn’t worry about their appearance. Additionally, VELCRO® Brand products are removable, allowing you to easily make changes to your plants by picking up the pot.

Stake Support

Plants that grow upwards can often struggle to do so without a little help. To help them to grow straight and healthily, it can be worth introducing support. To help the plant follow the guidance of the support, it can be worth using plant-friendly cable ties. Luckily, VELCRO® Plant Ties are often perfect for the job! Specifically designed for use in gardening, these ties can help to ensure plants can grow upwards with ease while their green design helps to prevent them from being seen.
