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.

The Watering Leaf (12cm)

This plant watering leaf is a cool little tool that is sure to make watering your plants easier and more fun.   Simply place the stalk into the potted plant, then pour the water down the leaf.

  • Aesthetically Pleasing: The leaf design is both functional and stylish.

  • Colour: Various random colours.

  • Size: The leaf part measures 12 cm, and the stalk is made of durable plastic.

Additional Benefits:

  • Prevents water going everywhere: These leaves channel the water, down the plastic stalk, sending it exactly where you want it.  Not all over the floor.  

  • Prevents Overwatering: You can see exactly how much water is being distributed.

  • Reduces Waterlogging Risk: The water is absorbed more slowly.

  • Stays in the Pot: Ensures the water goes into your pots and not all over with foliage, essential for those powdery mildew-prone varieties.

If you are looking for a fun and effective way to water your plants, then the plant waterer with leaf is a great option. It is simple to use, and it can help to keep your plants healthy and looking their best.

Along with the handy tools and propagation gear listed above, we believe in a balanced approach to plant care.

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!
