Any outstanding orders placed over the holiday period will resume processing from 5th January. 

With such short weeks, I don't feel secure about posting and possibly having plants sitting in limbo for over a week.

I hope you are ok with this decision.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

I don't know about you, but however careful I am unpotting plants inside, I always make a mess.
Since I have been using a repotting mat, similar to this, all the mess is contained and easily taken outside to dispose of.

  • Easy Containment: The corners clip together easily to create high walls that keep soil and debris contained.

  • Easy Storage: You can release the domes to fold it and store it flat.

User-Friendly Home Remedies and Treatments

Everyone encounters plant issues, and while chemical options are available, many prefer to reach for more user-friendly household items to combat pesky bugs and fungal infections.  These gentle treatments often need more frequent application but provide great results.

Items often used include:

  • Dishwasher Liquid: Suffocates pests and acts as a surfactant, helping sprays stick to plants or bugs.
  • Cinnamon: Functions as both a fungicide and a rooting hormone.
  • Honey: Serves as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent, and a rooting hormone.
  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE): A versatile item with many household uses.  Fungicide, insecticide and drying agent. 
  • Isoprop (Isopropyl Alcohol): Used in diluted sprays to target and dry out pests like mealybugs.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide: Useful for oxygenating soil and fighting root rot.
  • Methylated Spirits (Meths): Can be used similarly to isopropyl alcohol for pest control.

There are many more household items you can use, and this list is just a small sample. I will be writing a blog about household items that can be used on your plants—please read it!
