Houseplant care feeds sales

 

Whilst there is a lot of gardening activity going on with high sales of plants and growing media it seems everyone has bought all the other gardening products they need for their winter projects already.  Sales for the week were down by 30% on the same week last year.  

 

Within the GTN Top 50, created from garden centre Epos data, products to protect from frost and houseplant feeds were the biggest beneficiaries of increased sales.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Smart Garden Plant Fleece, 1.5m wide, per metre was the highest re-entry at No 5.
  • Growth Technology Houseplant Focus Drip Feeders 38ml were the highest chart climber moving up 32 places to No 9.
  • Woodlodge Black Glazed Feet Large, pack of 3, were the only new entry of the week, in at No 44.
