A bit of a basic or noob question, but what do you use for mixing and storing fertiliser used for small batches like houseplants?
I have a very modest cacti collection and this year I'm looking at caring for them a bit better. I've repotted a few into cacti and succulent compost, more free draining. Now I'm looking at fertiliser. I've got a cacti concentrate fertiliser I need to dilute, half capful per litre. So I'll not use the full litre but need to store it for the next feed. What would you suggest for a container I can seal but also measure out the water easily for mixing? I'm thinking of a suitable litre capacity with markings and a lid for sealing it when finished with feeding my plants.
Stupid question as a cheap drinks bottle would do but I'm thinking something that won't get confused with our numerous actual drinking bottles. I don't think a litre watering can would do because it cannot be sealed but a drinks bottle might get confused so doesn't suit neither.
