Garden Secateurs
Garden Secateurs (Product Code: SLE/BL/37) are hand-held pruning shears used to snip buds and similar plant material cleanly for flower study, propagation experiments and school-garden care. Listed among the garden tools in the biology range, they give botany teachers a clean cut where ordinary scissors would crush soft stems. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its botany lab equipment in India.

What Are the Garden Secateurs Used For?
Biology teachers use secateurs whenever fresh plant material has to be cut rather than torn: snipping flower buds at different stages of opening to show how petals, stamens and carpels develop; taking soft stem cuttings for rooting trials; and collecting leaves or shoots for identification and microscope work. A clean cut leaves less crushed tissue at the end of the stem, which helps cuttings stay healthy and keeps specimens looking like the living plant.
For cuttings, cut just above a leaf joint on the parent plant and just below one on the piece being rooted. Wipe the blades between plants if you are sampling from different beds, so that disease is not carried from one plant to the next. Pupils should use secateurs only under supervision and hand them over closed, handle first. As part of a school's plant biology teaching aids in India, a pair kept in the prep room saves improvising with scissors that bruise stems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Garden Secateurs used for in a biology lab?
The Garden Secateurs are used to snip buds and similar plant material, for example when cutting flower buds at different stages for dissection, taking soft stem cuttings for rooting trials, or collecting shoots and leaves for identification and microscope work.
What size are the Garden Secateurs, and what are the blades made of?
Size and blade material are not listed for the Garden Secateurs. Please contact us before ordering and we will confirm these details for the secateurs being quoted, so you can check they suit your students and plants.
Can the Garden Secateurs cut thick woody branches?
The Garden Secateurs are described for snipping buds and similar soft material, and no cutting capacity is stated. If you need to cut heavier woody stems in the school garden, ask us before ordering so we can advise on a suitable tool.
Are the Garden Secateurs safe for students to use?
The Garden Secateurs have sharp blades, so younger pupils should use them only under adult supervision. Teach students to hand them over closed and handle first, and store the secateurs closed in the prep room when they are not in use.
How should the Garden Secateurs be looked after?
Wipe sap and soil off the Garden Secateurs after use, dry the blades and store them in a dry place. A drop of light oil on the pivot keeps the action smooth, and wiping the blades between plants avoids carrying disease from bed to bed.
