INKLING: Printable Plant Care Instructions

Printable Plant Care Instructions via homeworkBefore I left on my trip recently, I was really worried about my little vegetable container garden. I try to take really good care of these little guys and I was going to be leaving them at a crucial time. Tomatoes were really taking off and loads of strawberries were blooming. My son volunteered to take care of the garden for me but was confused about when to water each plant so I whipped up some plant care labels to make the job easier for him.




Printable Plant Care Instructions via homework (8)Depending on the plant, the size of the container and the weather, watering a container garden varies.




So I created instructions for daily watering, every other day, once a week and when dry. I also left one blank that can be filled in with special instructions.


Printable Plant Care Instructions via homework (4)Once I finished the labels, I printed them out on cardstock and used self-laminating tags to protect them. These self-sticking tags are great and can be used for so many things. All you do is place the card {business card, name badge etc.} on the inside, peel off the backing of the top sheet and press down. Instant laminating!
