English term or phrase:
pipe cleaner
Romanian translation:
Beţişor (de plastic) pentru curăţat pipa
English term
pipe cleaner
or if your plants suffer the catastrophe of a fallen light fixture,
support your plants so that they may recover their original
sturdiness. For sprouts and seedlings, the simplest method is to take
a rigid piece of wire, form a "C" at one end, and bend the "C" to a
right angle to the wire. Set the straight end in the soil and rest the
stem in the "C". Pipe cleaners are ideal for seedlings.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"When tying up your tomato plants, use a soft-like material and keep moving your ties as your plants grow (usually every 4 to 7 days). Using a nylon type of string is a bad idea because it can easily cut into the tomato plant if a windy day or thunderstorm should occur. Purchasing ***a bag of some pipe cleaners*** are perfect and inexpensive. They can even be reused in your garden for the following year."

pipe = pipa, teava, conducta. nu cred ca o sarmulita pentru curatat pipe de fumat poate sustine niste plante, cat de firave ar fi.

: D-ul Bologa, cu tot respectul, dacă îmi permiteți, sârma de curățat țevi este mult prea mare pentru răsadurile tipic britanice. Am și eu în seră și, credeți-mă, sunt subțiri ca o unghie.

Cu aceste "pipe cleaners"- in fapt niste betisoare- se sprijina rasadurile. Despre ce tevi vorbim???

MAKE: patty pan flowers
These patty pan flowers won the 'most popular with the kids' craft award this week.
You will need
• cotton wool balls
• patty pans
• ***pipecleaners***
• scissors
• glue
• sticky tape
• food colouring (optional)
1. Flatten a patty pan and chop into the edges around the diameter.
2. Glue a cotton ball to the centre of the patty pan. For extra colour, we added some drops of food colouring to the cotton balls.
3. Tape a ***pipe cleaner*** to the back of the patty pan.
Sa fie vorba de sarpele pentru desfundat tevi?!
