Tools
A small number of good tools, kept sharp, will outlast a drawer full of cheap ones.
Tools
Bypass Pruning Shears
Carbon steel blades that pass each other cleanly, for stems up to a centimetre thick.
Tools

Coated palm, breathable back. Worth wearing for anything in the Araceae family.
Tools
Misting Bottle
A fine continuous mist for the species that want humidity rather than more water.
Tools
Precision Snips
Fine, narrow tips for deadheading and thinning without disturbing what is next to it.
Tools
Repotting Mat
A waterproof square with raised sides, so repotting indoors stays a small job.
Tools
Soil Moisture Meter
Reads moisture at root depth, where your finger cannot reach.
Tools
Watering Can, 1.5 litre
A long, narrow spout that reaches under leaves and pours slowly enough not to channel the soil.
