Your plants give you satisfaction, calm and serenity all year round. Whether they are in your interior or outside, their presence is a source of happiness. For this to last, it is important to take good care of them, to treat them carefully, and on a regular basis. Indeed, the majority of plants require rather demanding maintenance. It's not just about having a green thumb, but being equipped properly so that you can meet the needs of your green plants. Of course, know-how remains the key word, but the right tools are also essential.So how do you know which tools to choose, and which are best suited to your plants? In summary, how to equip yourself intelligently for easy and functional maintenance?

The pruner

The pruner is undoubtedly the gardener's indispensable tool. Indeed, in order to flesh out your beautiful plants and promote their growth over the months, the pruning stage is essential. The pruner is therefore the flagship tool that you cannot do without. Thanks to it, you can remove tired or damaged branches, leaves or flowers without any problem. Do you notice a small stem protruding and spoiling the aesthetics of your pretty plant? You will enjoy unsheathing your pruning shears which will allow you to remedy this easily! There are two types of shears: the classic shears and the anvil shears.Small tip: remember to disinfect it between each plant to avoid the transmission of any diseases from one plant to another. In addition to secateurs, 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 shears… your hands are fragile and are exposed many times when you take care of your plants. In order to avoid injury and to protect your hands, and thus be sure that you can continue to garden without problems, we recommend that you invest in a good pair of resistant gardening gloves.

The vaporizer

You have certainly already heard that it is important to mist your indoor plants and that it is beneficial for their well-being. Indeed, it is recommended to spray your plants, more 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, the 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 gestures will indeed be complementary. Another significant benefit of misting plants: it limits the risk of the presence 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! A word of advice: remember to use non-calcareous water. In this way, you will avoid whitish spots on the foliage of your plants and will promote good breathing for your plants, unobstructed by frequent lime deposits. To your vaporizers!
