magnolia £29.99
Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, well-drained, neutral to acidic soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: April to MayHardiness: fully hardyLarge, elegant, creamy yellow, goblet-shaped flowers open from yellow buds in April and May on bare branches. This magnolia forms a natural dome shape and has spreading, horizontal branches that give it an elegance even when not in flower. This rare variety makes a superb specimen tree for a small garden. It is best grown in fertile, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. A great tree for a woodland garden where it can be sheltered by other trees – it does not like exposed, windy sites.Magnolias can be a little tricky to grow to begin with but the rewards are well worth it. The main thing is to avoid planting in a frost pocket as this will damage the emerging buds. The same is true for exposed and windy spots. Once established, magnolias are fairly low maintenance though newly planted trees benefit from a good, deep mulch in spring to get them started.Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in midsummer. The best time to plant is in April, adding plenty of peat to the planting hole, in a sheltered spot. Mulch in spring with manure and leafmould, especially on dry soils.

ladybird–lava-aphid-control £22.99
The ladybird you will receive is Adalia bipunctata, a native to the UK.This ladybird feeds on different types of aphids (greenflies) and can be used on a wide range of plants, indoors and out. Ladybird larvae can eat up to 100 aphids a day and at this stage of their lifecycle are winged, which means they will most likely stay close to their food source. The larvae continue to eat until they are ready to pupate and become adult ladybirds. Once adults they can lay up to 20 to 50 eggs a day, which in turn hatch and eat the aphids. Adults also have a huge appetite and can devour large numbers of aphids.How to apply Ladybird Lava: Order your Ladybirds Lava only when you have aphids on your plants.Just Ladybirds can be introduced indoors or outdoors when the temperature is above 10°C. Place the larvae as close to the centre of the aphid infestation as soon as you receive them. If you have to wait then store them in the fridge at 8-10°C for 1-2 days maximum.If new infestations of aphids appear or the one being treated is too large, it may be necessary to add more Ladybirds. The number of larvae needed to treat an aphid infestation will vary on the number of aphids present. A general guideline is to use 3-5 ladybird larvae per infested plant.

mealybug-killer-crytolaemus £19.99
For glasshouses or conservatories onlyMealybugs cause damage to many plants. They are soft bodied insects and are covered in a white waxy material, it is because of this appearance that they get their name, mealybugs. There are different species which can be distinguished by the length of their tail filaments but they are all oval shaped. The most common species are the citrus mealybug, glasshouse mealybug and long tailed mealybug. Nymphs and female adults cause damage. Most feed on higher parts of plants but some extract food from roots. Biological control of mealybug is with the predatory beetle, Cryptolaemus. The adults and larvae of these beetles eat the mealybug completely. The larvae are similar in appearance to the mealybug so be careful not to remove! The beetle should be introduced once the mealybug are observed and a second treatment applied later to ensure the number of predators is high enough to compete with the mealybug population.How to use Crytolaemus: Cryptolaemus require a minimum temperature of 16°C They establish better in longer, brighter days. Cryptolaemus adults should be released from their bottles away from open windows or frames. They are attracted to light and could fly out!
