Each card has a line for the plant's name, a line for where it lives in the house, and then four labelled boxes: Light, Water, Feed and Repot. Those are the four things you look up every time and forget again by the following spring. Under them a notes strip takes when you bought it, when it was last repotted and whatever it has been doing lately.
Nothing is filled in for you, and that is deliberate. How much light a plant wants and how often it needs water depends on the plant, the room and the season, so the card is a place to write what you learned or what the nursery label said — not a set of instructions invented by a template. It is also the card you hand to whoever is watering the plants while you are away, which is exactly when vague advice does the most damage.
Four cards to a page at about three and a half by four and a half inches, or six smaller ones, with corner marks showing where to cut. Every line and box is a form field, so you can type a card up neatly and print it, which is worth doing if the cards are going to live in the pots. Print on card stock if they will be handled often, push them into the soil in a plastic sleeve, or keep the set in a box by the watering can. One page, US Letter or A4.
