Cutting and vases · 2 min read
A clean cut with a clean blade
Stay with the blade you use on stems. A clean cut with a clean blade. The rest of the bed can wait.
Do it in order
Do this: wipe the blade before you move to the next plant. Do it in the cool part of the day when you can.
The usual miss
Avoid one blade used on a sick stem and then a healthy one. That habit makes a healthy plant look like a project.
The sign to stop is simple: the blade was wiped between plants. Write the date if you changed water, cut, or place.
A note in "Cutting and vases" should still make sense in another month. Keep the plant's name and the condition, and leave the mood out.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
