Protecting Bug Control Concentrate 100ml
Plantsmith
Please Note:
Clay pots are made from natural terracotta, so each one is a little different. You may notice small variations in colour, tone and texture from pot to pot. Terracotta is porous too, so when you water your plant the clay will absorb some of that moisture and naturally darken, often in patches, before drying back to its original shade.
Over time, your pot may develop a soft white patina from the minerals in soil and water. We think this only adds to its charm and shows it's doing its job.

Some common pests to look out for include:
Mealy bugs
Probably the most common pest of houseplants, mealy bugs are sap-sucking insect that look like patches of white cotton wool. They are difficult to eradicate as they often hide in relatively inaccessible places, but our spray will help get them under control quickly.
Red spider mites
It’s difficult to see these sap-sucking pests by eye, but their damage is unmistakable. The upper sides of leaves will become mottled, before they shrivel up and die – fine webbing is sometimes visible. They like hot, dry conditions so mist plants regularly to raise humidity.
Scale insects
Scale insects are sap-sucking creatures that look like tiny brown limpets. Over time, they form large colonies and will weaken their host. They usually appear on stems and under leaves.
