Friday, November 19, 2021
We probably don't need to tell you, and all the plantmoms and -dads, that houseplants require love and care. We offer some useful accessories that will make houseplants as happy as possible in your home. After all, all that greenery must stay healthy and fresh for a long time. Fortunately, you can assist with this! From repotting and potting to watering, misting, and raking, houseplants will be perfectly cared for with these attractive fundamental essentials.
Bigger, Better, Brighter
Are your customer's houseplants in need of a bigger pot after a big growth spurt? Or does the newly purchased houseplant need to be repotted for the first time? If so, the best time to do this, is in spring, but potting in autumn isn't a problem either. A little fresh soil and a pot at least 20% larger than the one before will work wonders. Want to help plant lovers now or start shopping for the houseplant season? These sets of robust, blue-coloured zinc flower pots with a closed base are in stock and can be placed either outside or inside. The metal flower pots on a pedestal are particularly ideal for homes that have underfloor heating. In the upcoming catalogue for spring 2022, you will also soon find a sophisticated and modern version of these raised flower boxes for indoor use!
Speed up repotting
The plant should of course be moved from its standard plastic container into a flowerpot as soon as possible, as these are often too small for the space that the plant really needs. Also, if existing plants in flower pots grow through the moisture hole at the bottom, they need a new 'home' as quickly as possible too. Did your customer receive a flower arrangement as a present for the holidays? Then let them repot it in time. The plants in these pots are often too close together and could use a little space to stretch out after the holidays.
With the small stainless steel scoop, you work very accurately. It has a good grip and an extra serrated edge that easily cuts through roots and manoeuvres through soil. The folding plant shovel is also perfect for smaller upkeep and repotting jobs. The raised edges ensure that no potting soil is spilled and the folding handle makes it easy to store the shovel at home. And if you don't want to get your hands dirty, the plastic potting tool is the ideal tool for adding extra soil to plants.
Care to the finest (leaf) detail
An excess of water sometimes causes root rot in houseplants. This can cause them to die and can be prevented. A houseplant watering can help with a targeted dosage of water. Especially with a plant that has grown quite dense, it is not always possible to see where you are pouring. It’s therefore helpful that the water does not mistakenly ends up next to the flowerpot. The stainless steel indoor watering cans have a handy handle and a large opening, making them easy to fill.
Not only does dosed and targeted watering do good, but also spraying the dust off the leaves helps the plants seeing the light again. With the short and dark days ahead, it is important that they are able to absorb some daylight in order to grow sufficiently. The golden sprinkler is a keeper, because this eye-catcher just stands out among the other accessories in the living room. The growth season for houseplants begins in the spring. The houseplant tool kit comes in helpful at this point. Houseplants will not suffer pruning wounds with the extra sharp pruning shears included in the set, increasing the chances of optimal flowering. The set's components can also be purchased separately.
PS. In the new catalogue you will soon find super cute squeeze sprinklers and a new worldly watering aid, within the indoor section of the Water in the Garden collection.
