Gardening Mat
I usually use my fingers to detect wetness in small pots, but for bigger pots this becomes so handy.

I use these to make clean cuts for propagations.

Amazing fertilizer for all my houseplants and garden.
MARPHYL Organic Liquid Fertilizer Plant Food

These are for air plants. Unlike most plants, air plants do not grow in soil. They thrive on air, light, and occasional misting, so you can get really creative with how you display them.
