Labeling your plants

So I was wondering how you guys out here go about keeping track of your plants? I take a piece of Scotch tape, fold the ends over on themselves just slightly so there is a non sticky area that I can use to pull the tape apart, then sandwich the stem as I fold the tape in half, sticking it to itself. I write the info on the tape with a sharpie. I use a sharpie because the ink wont run if it gets wet. This method is okay but it's kind of a pain, not to mention a waste of tape.

Can you actually write directly on the leaves with a sharpie? I never tried this but I'm think about trying it? Would there be any toxic effects of doing this?

i would think most inks would be harmful to the plant, how harmful i dont know but why risk it when a sticky note works jsut fine

Plastic plant markers.
I use a sharpie on those and have my own code.
Remove the markings with alcohol.
