Houseplant help, naturally
We’ve all the seen the huge growth in houseplants and products to care for them and there’s no sign of growth slowing anytime soon! Yates has continued to innovate in this space with two new first to market products.
First up is a solution for a very common indoor plant problem – those pesky little flies called fungus gnats. The adult flies lay eggs in potting mix, and these hatch into larvae which can also cause damage to the roots of plants. A natural way to protect your indoor plants is to use a physical barrier on top of the potting mix, such as Yates Gnat Barrier. It’s made from special pumice granules the right size to stop gnats laying
eggs, plus it looks great too!
The second piece of news for houseplant parents will
ticks a lot of boxes. Describing its new Thrive Indoor Plants Natural Plant Food Spray as “the ultimate indoor plant fertiliser”Yates says it’s made from a gentle blend of natural minerals and nutrients. Super convenient and easy to use – just spray directly onto the plants’ potting mix – a spray once a fortnight is all that’s needed to keep indoor plants healthy and happy. Available as a ready-to- use 500ml spray and 1L refill.
