bullet2 COLOURED POTS

When  a range of species and provenance seedlings are grown in plastic pots for planting out in trials, there is a danger of muddling them up. Labels can peel off or become unreadable. To solve this problem, use coloured codes painted onto the pots as blobs or stripes. Make sure your staff know what the codes stand for, and that they are not colour blind!
