To cut plant material, especially stems, which can be woody and tough, it’s a good idea to get a pair of flower scissors that have large handles and smaller blades. Large handles and smaller scissor blades increase the force exerted on the object to be cut. For the user, this means less effort and less strain is necessary for each cut.
An industry favourite for florist scissors Australia wide are the Flower Snips Heavy Duty Yellow Black. Affordable and versatile, these scissors have extra thick, short blades and reinforced handles, perfect for cutting thicker flower foliage as well as for more intricate snipping of buds and foliage.
For thicker or tougher stems, a pair of garden cutting scissors like bypass secateurs can make a clean cut with precision and ease. Likewise, for stems with very small buds or leaves, scissors with a micro tip can make detailed work easier. See our Powercut Micro-tip Flower Snips Fiskars as an example.
