These are fantastic for delicate pruning work on any plant, but I use them to trim cannabis and find them to be ideal.
I've convinced myself that I can grow bonsais from a few small trees. I wanted to burn an Amazon gift card, so I ordered some scissors to prune them the "proper" way. They're sturdy and sharp, and I'm confident that when my small trees die in the winter, it'll be due to my lack of skill, not these scissors, that I'll be blamed.
I really liked these scissors at first, but they bent after pruning a small branch, and the tip no longer meets. As a result, these should only be used on the most delicate of shoots.

Everything from indoor plants to my herb garden is taken care of with it! These are razor-sharp and stay that way for a long time. However, they are prone to rusting, so be cautious.
