Breakdown

Lidded cups for short plant checks
The Vakly 4 oz Sterile Specimen Cups give a garden station a clear, lidded container for clipped plant pieces. A cup can hold a curled leaf, small stem tip, seed pod, spent bloom, or loose garden find during a short walk from the plant to the bench.
The 4 ounce size gives a little room around a sample. That helps fragile pieces sit in the cup with a note, label slip, or small marker tag.
Helpful when the sample needs a label
The clear cup and label area support tidy notes. A gardener can record the plant name, bed, date, or shelf location before checking the piece with a loupe, petri dish, or pocket microscope.
The screw-on lid helps the sample stay contained in a caddy or tray. This is useful when several pots, rows, or shelf groups need a short inspection round.
A practical station container
These cups feel practical near sticky cards, markers, gloves, hand lenses, and waterproof notebooks. They give larger leaf pieces a place to rest before a smaller section moves into a flat dish or vial.
Use these cups for garden station work and keep that use clearly separate from household, food, and personal-care items. Label each cup before moving away from the plant.
