The pruning shears
The pruning shears is undoubtedly the gardener's essential tool. Indeed, in order to expand your beautiful plants and encourage their growth over the months, the pruning stage is essential. The pruner is therefore the key tool that you cannot do without. Thanks to it, you can remove tired or damaged branches, leaves or flowers without any problem. You notice a small stem sticking out and spoiling the aesthetics of your pretty plant ? You will enjoy pulling out your pruning shears which will allow you to remedy this easily! There are two types of pruning shears: classic pruning shears and anvil pruning shears. Little tip: remember to disinfect it between each plant to avoid the transmission of possible plant diseases to the other. In addition to pruning shears, you can also equip yourself with a nice pair of scissors, also ideal for refreshing the foliage of your plants.
Gloves
The earth, the thorns, the products, the blade of the pruning shears... your hands are fragile and are exposed multiple times when you take care of your plants. To avoid injury and to protect your hands, and thus be sure that you can continue gardening without problem, we recommend that you invest in a good pair of durable gardener gloves .
The vaporizer
You have certainly already heard that it is important to mist your houseplants and that this is beneficial for their well-being. In fact, it is recommended to spray your plants, particularly their foliage, in order to maintain a certain level of humidity, necessary for their growth. The majority of plants grown indoors are of tropical origin and therefore need to grow in a humid environment. However, interiors are often too dry.
To overcome this problem, the vaporizer will be your best ally. We advise you to spray the plant regularly in parallel with regular watering. These two actions will in fact be complementary.Another significant benefit of misting plants: it limits the risk of mites on your plants and even kills those that have already settled there.
You will find all our pretty vaporizers on our site, which combine business with pleasure. Indeed, in addition to being practical to use, they are very beautiful and can also be placed next to a plant or on a shelf as a decorative object! Little tip: remember to use water not limestone. You will thus avoid whitish spots on the foliage of your plants and will promote good respiration for your plants, unobstructed by frequent limescale deposits. To your vaporizers !
