Potect is an Innovative new solution for the pots you love

A new solution for raising pots off the ground is launching on Amazon called Potect. Creator Giovanni Nieddu is a keen gardener and had so many clay po

ts that suffered in the winter with frost and then didn’t drain very well. With this in mind he used his extensive experience in toolmaking and put his skills to developing a solution. Giovanni Nieddu’s career began in Italy with a comprehensive four year training in toolmaking that covered everything from tool design through to the physics behind the processes. After graduating he worked first in gun making, then relocated to the UK where his role included manufacturing the first-ever moulded fountain pen, numerous mould tools and developing the cutting-edge ‘red dot’ sight for the armed forces. He now runs a family business called Micro Plas Mouldings and discovered that he was as passionate about building strong working relationships with clients as he was about the technical challenges of toolmaking. Last year during the lockdowns, Giovanni got thinking more about the loss of his pots and decided he had to spend time drawing a solution, and so Potect was born. Liza, his daughter who also works in the business said “Dad’s a great inventor and has had so many amazing ideas over the years like the shock lock now used by the AA to secure the suspension on cars when they are being transported. He loves his garden and creating a solution for fellow gardeners was something he felt he just had to do !”

Potect offers those people who have treasured pots the opportunity to lift them up with a supportive circle, without being seen like the feet that have been the main solution historically; allowing the plants to drain and protect from frost damage. Potect can also be used in the house to raise pots up to avoid staining on floors and window sills. Giovanni says, “As a family business we are passionate about customer service and every customer is important. I genuinely enjoy creating solutions for people through my extensive experience of toolmaking”

As we move into September, there's a clear change that happens in the garden.

There's still plenty of colour and growth, yet the shift is clear: cooler evenings, heavier dews, and plants starting to wind down.

But with summer behind us, there's still plenty of things to keep an eye on and jobs to tackle to keep everything looking good into Autumn:

💠 Keep deadheading for longer bloom and colour.
💠 Pick your fruits, veg, and herbs little and often.
💠 Start sowing now for Autumn and Winter.

Root rot is easily one of the most common problems in houseplants that you’ll encounter.

Knowing how to fix it is a key skill that any potted plant lover needs up their sleeve (especially if you’re a serial overwaterer!)

Root rot is exactly what it sounds like. It’s when a plant’s roots start to rot and can’t absorb water properly anymore. Most of the time, root rot is caused by overwatering or poor drainage that causes roots to be waterlogged and slowly start to die.

If your plant is droopy and wilted but somehow looks worse every time you water it, your plant might be a victim of root rot. If you’re not sure, the best way to identify rot is to remove your plant from its pot and take a look at its roots.

After removing as much soil as you can from the roots, clip away all the damaged roots and leaves with garden shears or scissors. Make sure to remove all the rotted roots to avoid it spreading again after you’ve finished.

Then it’s time to repot your plant. Make sure it’s repotted in a clean container with fresh soil, and make sure that the pot has plenty of drainage holes or has sand or stones in the bottom to avoid waterlogging in the future.

Most plants recover from root rot quickly, and you should start to see signs of fresh growth in one or two weeks!

Have you ever had a houseplant suffer from root rot?

Wildlife, long evenings and luscious plants - August is such an incredible time in the garden. 🌿💚

If you’re still making the most out of your summer garden, here are a few easy jobs to tackle this month:

1️⃣ Give everything a light trim – from evergreens to your summer show-offs, a quick prune keeps them neat and encourages fresh growth
2️⃣ Water well and wisely – go for a deep soak when the sun’s lower, morning or evening, so your plants really make the most of it.
3️⃣ Deadhead your flowers – snip off any faded blooms to keep beds and borders looking lush and blooming right into autumn.
4️⃣ Show pots some love – keep feeding container plants while they’re still flowering, then ease off once they start heading into their autumn/winter rest.

Have you recently glanced at your favourite house plant only to find it looking a little sad and droopy?

Droopy plants are a common problem for even the best gardeners. But don’t worry, there is a way for you to get your plant looking its best again.

When it comes to droopy plants, there are typically 3 common causes: Watering, Light, and Temperature.

💧 Watering is probably the biggest player in plant health. If your soil feels damp or soggy, then you may be overwatering. To fix this, try cutting back on your watering and make sure your plant has proper drainage. On the other hand, if your soil feels dry and your leaves look crispy, give your plants a good drink and establish a regular watering routine.

🔆 Plants also have light preferences, and finding the right balance for yours can be tricky. If your plants are in a place that’s too sunny, like a windowsill, the leaves might dry out or get scorched, but if it’s in a too shady spot, it won’t get enough energy to grow. Try looking at how much light your plant needs to find the best spot in your home.

🌡️ And finally, just like us, plants don’t like extreme temperatures. Too hot and leaves might get droopy and fall off; too cold and the leaves might grow brown or stop growing at all. To avoid this, keep them away from prolonged sunlight, heat sources, drafts or cold windows.

Droopiness doesn’t mean the end of your plant's life; it just needs a little extra care. What are some of your best plant care tips?

Any garden lover will have probably heard the term deadheading, but do you really understand how exactly it helps your plants thrive?

Deadheading is simply removing the fading or dead flowers from plants. It helps to both improve the appearance of plants and to encourage future blooms.

To get the most out of your deadheading, it’s best to remove flowers as soon as they start growing and look like they’re fading.

The best way to deadhead your plants is either:

With your finger and thumb: Carefully pinch the faded bloom off, aiming to remove the flower with its stalk to keep the plant looking healthy.

With garden secateurs or scissors: If plants have a thicker stem, then it might be easier to neatly snip off the flower, cutting it just above the heft bud or leaf on the stem.

Have you deadheaded your plants recently?
