40cm plant pot

40cm plant pot was £8.99 now £6.99
Weight These are very light. Therefore they are easy to move around. Especially with large pots this is a huge convenience! You will have the opportunity to change the view of your terrace or balcony in an easy manner regularly by placing your pots elsewhere. Waterproof This is a very great advantage that will make your plant very happy indeed. Because synthetic flower pots are not porous, bacteria do not get the opportunity and additionally the soil dries out less rapidly due to evaporation or leaking of the water. Thus also clearly better for the health of your plants. If you use the pots indoors it also mean that you will not run the risk of getting stains on the floor, table or window sill as a result of leaking water. Frost proof You can easily leave your synthetic pots outdoors in the winter. Up to a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius below zero synthetics are frost proof. Handy if, for instance, you want to plant flower bulbs in flower boxes in autumn. But you can also create atmosphere on your terrace with an evergreen. . With synthetic pots you can therefore give your terrace a green face even in the winter! Durability Synthetic is a very strong and sturdy material. Pots that are made of synthetics do not break due to a little bump. There are no little pieces that break off. Convenient with children! Additionally this pot is UV proof, so they do not loose their colour under the influence of sunlight and that is a very appealing certainty. Maintenance friendly Synthetic pots are very easily cleaned. Because of the smooth surface (and the fact that they are not porous!) algae deposits for instance do not get much of a chance. A cloth, a hand wipe or a brush over the pot is usually sufficient to make the pots look like new again. Available in more than one colour. All colours sold separately.

Camellia 'Spring Festival' (camellia)

Camellia ‘Spring Festival’ (camellia) £24.99
The photos on this page shows the plant with gift wrap. This is not included in the price, however you may add gift wrap (for an additional charge of £4.95) during the order process. Position: partial or full shade Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens) Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: February to April Hardiness: fully hardy The slightly glaucous foliage of this lovely camellia will look good all through the year, but it is from late winter to mid-spring, when it produces lots of small, double flowers in fine shades of pink, that this evergreen shrub will be most highly prized. A handsome addition to the shrub border, it has upright, pillar-like growth, so won’t dominate its neighbours. Garden care: To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.

Einhell BG-SA 1231 Electric Scarifier / Aerator

Einhell BG-SA 1231 Electric Scarifier / Aerator was £149.95 now £99.95
The Einhell BG-SA 1231 combines an aerator and a scarifier in single handy package.

As a scarifier, its 42 specially-designed claws will delicately but thoroughly get rid of any thatch or moss that have built-up on the surface-pan, ensuring moisture, sunlight and air will be able to better penetrate. When undertaken regularly, these processes will leave you with a lush, verdant lawn. Driven by a high-powered 1200w electric motor, the Einhell BG-SA 1231 Electric Scarifier / Aerator will prove a stress-free alternative to a petrol machine. Its lightweight, four-wheeled design combines to ensure that even larger jobs won’t tire you out; while its capacious 28-litre thatch-collector allows for long-run times between emptying-breaks. Thanks to its flexible three-step working-depth (adjustable between 3 and 9mm), the Einhell BG-SA 1231 can be easily set-up to perform effectively in any given conditions.
