Orchid Labels & Marking

Orchid labels and marking tools

Keeping accurate records of what you're growing is one of the most practical habits in orchid cultivation. Labels fade, markers wash off, and plastic stakes get reused — the result is collections where provenance is lost and plants can't be identified at flowering. The products in this collection are chosen to solve that problem reliably.

We stock several label types to suit different growing setups and recording habits — T-type labels for standard bench work, flat stake labels as a versatile all-rounder, nursery stake labels for long-form hybrid names, and aluminium tags for permanent outdoor or long-term records. Marking options include the iDenti-Pen permanent marker, which etches into plastic rather than sitting on the surface, and chinagraph pencils for growers who prefer a removable mark.

  • T-type labels — wide writing surface, pointed stake, multiple colours
  • Flat stake labels — 10cm and 5cm — versatile all-rounder for bench and shadehouse
  • Nursery stake labels — long narrow format for full hybrid names
  • Aluminium tags — permanent, weather-resistant, embossable
  • iDenti-Pen — dual tip permanent marker that etches into plastic
  • Chinagraph pencil — high-pigment wax, removable, works on plastic and metal
