Hi Everyone, could anyone tell me the best weatherproof marker pen for plant labels, pots, and things? (Spent £20 odd pounds for a pack of Striedler pens,what a waste of money).
THANK YOU/APPRECIATED.

I cant find one to last more than 2 yrs. I use sharpie or statdler. oh bought me a labelling machine and I will have to see how that fares.

I use laundry maker pens the type we use to mark kids clothes with they are the best I have had for labels if they can go though washing then they are fine for plant labels.

Use a pencil, it doesn't fade and stays legible for a long time. The plus side is the labels can be reused... Just rub a bit of damp soil on them to remove the writing.

lol Myron. Depends which Staedler pens you bought. I always use their indelible fine point and have never had any trouble with it.

I use China pencils, had them for ages and have finally found a good use for them. Then I scrape the label with a knife if I want to 're use it.
