The Plant Care Products We Recommend Most Often

Over the years we've helped thousands of customers care for their houseplants and gardens. While every plant is different, there are certain products we find ourselves recommending again and again.

Whether you're looking to improve watering, encourage healthy growth, tackle pests or make gardening easier, these are some of our favourite plant care products.

For Watering

Brown Glass Plant Mister

If you grow humidity-loving plants such as Calatheas, Ferns or Begonias, a good mister is invaluable. Our Brown Glass Plant Mister is one of our most popular plant care accessories and looks beautiful sitting alongside your plants.

Pepin Ollas

One of the cleverest watering products we've discovered in recent years. Pepin Ollas slowly release water into the compost as plants need it, helping to reduce watering stress and keep moisture levels more consistent.

They're particularly useful during warmer weather, holidays or for anyone who occasionally forgets to water.

Haws Watering Cans

When it comes to watering cans, it's hard to beat Haws. Handmade in Britain and trusted by gardeners since 1886, they combine beautiful design with exceptional practicality.

For houseplants we love the Langley Sprinkler. For outdoor gardening, the Cradley Cascader remains a firm favourite.

For Feeding Your Plants

Liquid Gold Leaf

If we could only recommend one plant feed, it would probably be Liquid Gold Leaf.

It contains every essential plant nutrient and is suitable for most houseplants, making it one of the easiest ways to support healthy growth throughout spring and summer.

Organic Garden Fertiliser

For outdoor gardeners, our Organic Garden Fertiliser is a fantastic all-round feed for flowers, vegetables and garden plants.

Regular feeding can make a remarkable difference to flowering, growth and overall plant health.

For Pest Control

SB Invigorator

Few products earn as many recommendations from our team as SB Invigorator.

It helps tackle common pests including spider mite, aphids, mealybug and scale while also helping plants stay healthy and vigorous.

Super Ninja Fungus Gnat Traps

Fungus gnats are one of the most common houseplant problems we encounter. Our Super Ninja Fungus Gnat Traps are a simple and effective way to reduce adult populations.

Pepin Neem Oil

Pepin Neem Oil is another useful product to keep on hand. It has long been used by gardeners as part of a wider plant care routine and works particularly well when problems are caught early.

For Repotting & Growing

Perlite

Perlite is one of the simplest ways to improve drainage and aeration within potting mixes. We regularly recommend adding it to houseplant compost, particularly for plants that dislike sitting in wet soil.

Growing Pots

One of our most repeated pieces of advice is to keep plants in nursery pots with drainage holes. Our Growing Pots make repotting straightforward and help reduce the risk of overwatering.

Coir Moss Poles

Monsteras, Philodendrons and many climbing plants naturally want to grow upwards. A Coir Moss Pole provides valuable support and can encourage larger, more mature growth.

RocketGro Multi-Purpose Compost

For outdoor containers, raised beds and garden planting, RocketGro Multi-Purpose Compost is an excellent peat-free option that performs brilliantly throughout the growing season.

For Pruning & Gardening

Niwaki Tools

We have proudly stocked Niwaki since 2019 and they remain our favourite gardening tools.

For houseplants we love the Niwaki Forged Snips. For tougher pruning jobs, the Niwaki GR Pro Secateurs are exceptional. And for general garden work, few tools are as versatile as the Niwaki Hori Hori.

You can explore the full range in our Niwaki collection.

Our Final Thoughts

Plant care doesn't need to be complicated. Often, having the right tools and products makes all the difference.

These are the products our team recommend most often because they consistently help customers achieve healthier houseplants, more successful gardens and a more enjoyable growing experience.
