Planting in pots and houseplant care drive sales

 

The wet and stormy weather may have put a hold on ‘normal’ gardening activity and purchasing but it didn’t seem to put a stop to sales of pots and houseplant feeds which all saw some large week on week increases.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Woodlodge Wisteria Bee Pot 18cm was the highest new entry for the week at No 31.
  • Woodlodge Small Pot Feet were the highest re-entry at No 6.
  • Growth Technology Houseplant Focus Drip Feeders 38ml increased sales by 150% to re-enter at No 27.
