Mosquito Bits
Our team are advocates for Mosquito Bits because they make getting rid of pesky mosquitos a breeze!
Marshy swampy areas inundated with Mosquito larvae? Sprinkle Mosquito Bits as a shock to quickly annihilate the larval population. Mosquito Bits are labeled to control Mosquitos & Fungus Gnats in plant beds or pots! The Bits, either sprinkled on the soil’s surface or mixed with potting soil prior to planting will kill fungus gnat larvae with the same safety and target specific control offered for mosquito larvae. Corn cob granules coated in BTI, the Bits provide a punch turning water once black with larvae, to a clear pool rid of future mosquitoes. A week after application, supplement with Mosquito Dunks and for long term control or continue to add Bits on a bi-weekly basis.

Skeeter Screen Yard Sticks & Systemic Granules

Adding these in while potting gives them extra peace of mind about the health of their plants. Simply sprinkle the directed amount over the soil and water in! Pests will be gone within days.

Pests unfortunately come with the territory, so treating plants for pests before you even know if they have them will ensure a breakout doesn’t happen!

Systemic Granules ensure your new plant will have no pests!

Perlite & Orchid Bark & Potting Mix
Our team loves to mix their own soil for all indoor plants! Regular potting mix alone can be to heavy and hold too much moisture for certain plants which ultimately can lead to rot. We suggest adding perlite and orchid bark mix to the potting soil medium before repotting your plants! They help to aerate the soil, allowing water to drain through and the soil to dry out more quickly! We also recommend mixing in a slow release fertilizer such as Microlife 6-2-4!
Charcoal
Our team prefers using Charcoal as a soil amendment because of its aeration, mineral boost, and ability to soak up any lingering unpleasant smells in soil! Whenever you repot, add a bit of charcoal before mixing it together and repotting your plant! They will be thankful for the extra additive!
