Tag failures

[rbarata]

My cokection, although very eclectic, is relatively small. I know all the species and hybrid names, their requirements and approximately what was their price.
So, beside the ones that are still in the original pots, all the other don't have any tags.

Would be handy, but I suspect that you'd end up with something less durable. I have plants with old tags from vendors that have printing that has survived for years, I think must have been printed with a dot-matrix printer. (remember those?), but most of the more recent vendor tags don't have such a good survival rate. I have so many Andy's Orchids tags that become illegible or brittle or both in a couple of years - but I ALWAYS make my own tags so I don't have to worry about the originals holding up.

The original pots I have (from the same vendor) have printed plastic stickers. All of the are still legible.
