Is this true? I was told this recently but it hasn't seemed to happen to a plant I have. I periodically trim any leaves where the tips have turned brown and someone saw me doing it with metal scissors and said to use plastic scissors. True or False?

I have been gardening all my life...I use Cutco metal scissors for the kitchen....and the garden, including taking cuttings to start new plants.....even trimmed the side of the sidewalk...put them in the dishwasher each time I use them....when I was working in a greenhouse for years, we used metal scissors for everything, but we had to dip them in alcohol and rinse each time we started a new job with them....cuttings, trimming,, etc...

Seeing because it hasn't been pronounced you desire a vice/clamp or artwork bench to carry reported metallic pipe in place earlier you think of roughly reducing it or you will no longer get a directly decrease with something. Hacksaw could do it very easily. Dremmel isn't an extremely solid reducing device, even nonetheless it could do it. Jigsaw with metallic reducing blade will do it incredibly. Pipe cutter is particularly designed for the activity. regardless of you go with for you will could desire to report and emery the sting to get it soft. If that's in simple terms one pipe ask a kin member or pal, somebody will have already got the fabulous device for the activity.

Certain plants may react chemically to the metal. It might not happen with all plants.

if it's going to turn brown, it won't matter what scissors you use. some plants do, some don't, that's all.
