The freezing weather has
well and truly set in, and the cold Canberra winter is set to cripple even the
healthiest of house plants! Fortunately, there are ways to keep the cold from
biting at the ankles of our beloved leafy friends, and the Urban Plant Growers
‘Easy’ and ‘Breezy’ Grow lights are the best way to get the most out of your
winter season. Read on to find out how beneficial these little gadgets can be
for keeping out the chill, your plants will thank you for it!
Urban Plant Growers are an Australian company whose focus is helping us plant
growers take the best precautions to make sure our plants are happy and
healthy. Creators Dilhan and Peter have stated on their website:
‘Food waste and food miles (the total distance that food travels to get from
farm to plate) are two of the most pressing issues that the
sustainability of our food chain currently face. We believe that we can shine a
spotlight on these issues by empowering everyday people to grow their own
food, be more conscious of these issues, and live a more self sustainable
lifestyle.’
Miss Moss is currently stocking the red/blue grow light, which you can find
more information about on the Urban Plant Growers website, however here is a
quick summary on how they work and why they are good for your plant pals:
The Red/Blue plant grower features light wavelengths in these two colours as
blue stimulates the production of chlorophyll and red helps in bulb
development, germination and root growth. Essentially, these two wavelengths
allow for your plant to both thrive and grow larger as well as help to promote
them to flower happily. This means that your plant only receives the
wavelengths it needs to grown without any unnecessary power usage! As well as
this, the lights feature a built in timer that ensures you aren’t using excess
power, and can be adjusted to 3 hours, 9 hours, 12 hours, or indefinitely. They
also attach using a clamp, meaning you can set it up virtually anywhere. They
are designed to fit comfortably and easily into any space in your home.
If that hasn’t convinced you so far, Urban Plant Growers even has fully
accessible (and free!) instruction manuals and guides on their website, so that
you can feel comfortable and confident getting started and giving your plants
the best lease on life when the sun has been hidden away over the winter
months.
So what are you waiting for? Pop down to Miss Moss Florals and grab one of
these additions to your plants routine, to ensure happy and healthy plants
through this winter and to support one of Australia’s fast growing small
businesses. You won’t regret it!
