Product Information

As orchids, cacti and succulents have different nutritional requirements to other houseplants; Plantsmith has devised an especially blended formula suited to these plants, Nurturing Orchid Feed & Tonic and Invigorating Cacti & Succulent Feed. Nurturing Orchid Feed & Tonic Orchids detest soggy roots and will not thank you for sitting them in a pot of water so the best way to water is remove them from their pot and dunk or flush with rainwater whether in a sink or bath and let the water drip through. Return to their pot once excess water has dissipated. The Peace Lily ranked high in NASA’s air purifying study by being capable of absorbing all of the chemicals on test;formaldehyde, trichloroethylene,benzene, toluene, xylene and ammonia. Peace Lilies are particularly good at processing trichloroethylene, in fact they were proven to remove 23% in 24 hours and can keep household mould at bay. They absorb these chemicals through their leaves and expel them via their roots where they are broken down by soil microbes.
