Inspired by a new Scandinavian lifestyle trend called 'umage' which encourages us all to put a little effort into improving our surroundings, this collection of six gorgeous houseplants will breathe new life into your home! Houseplants quite literally improve the quality of the air around you and studies (by NASA no less!) have shown that many plants can improve the atmosphere in your home by adding oxygen and removing toxins, so are a worthwhile addition - plus there's the added benefit that growing plants can help your general wellbeing making you feel happier and healthier! Ideal for beginners who want easy-to-grow, low maintenance plants, this collection is a great way to join the houseplant revolution and transform any living space into a greener and more pleasant place. Undemanding, robust and easy to care for, these indoor plants are tolerant of a range of conditions making them a cost-effective way to fill your home with greenery - ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike. We supply six mixed foliage plants in 12cm pots, which could include (although not guaranteed) such beauties as: Chaemaedorea elegans AGM - an award-winning palm with light green, feathery fronds. 1.5 x 1m Dracaena marginata AGM - the Dragon tree, is an evergreen shrub with a crown of long, sword-shaped, dark green leaves, finely edged with reddish-brown. 2.5 x 1.5m Ficus elastica - the well-known rubber plant with large, glossy leaves. 2.5m x 1m Dracaena fragrans AGM - AKA the corn plant, with arching, shiny, sword-shaped leaves much like maize leaves. - 2.5m x 1m Codiaeum Petra - the familiar, brightly coloured Croton plant (or Joseph's Coat) with spectacularly coloured leaves. 1m x 1m Asparagus sprengeri AGM - The emerald fern with gently arching, ferny leaves, perfect for a hanging basket. 60cm x 60cm
The UK's leading mycorrhizal planting product - as endorsed by the RHS. This special formulation is designed for acid loving (ericaceous) plamts only. The completely natural way to look after the secret root system of ericaceous plants and trees, each pouch contains hundreds of thousands of naturally occurring beneficial fungi, which help protect roots from disease, and helps take up feed more effectively. Especially beneficial to get bare root plants off to a headstart, it works well for pot grown plants too -and can be used all year long. If you are planting in pots or containers, the natural biological soil bacteria are completely absent, so incoprorating Rootgrow as you plant introduces these natural benefical bacteria, which will colonise the compost, and benefit your plants for many years to come. Similarly if you are planting in poorer soils, or planting a new garden or hedge for the first time, introducing these goodies will help quicker establishment, and better fertiliser uptake in future. Tests have shown they can increase the active root area of plants by 700 times a month after planting. This helps your plants get away quicker and better, makes them, more drought tolerant, use fertiliser more efficiently, and make them more robust. And, because they are a living, evolving community, one application lasts forever.
