Have you forgotten to sell cover pots and drip feeders?



Have we forgotten about Christmas houseplant linked sales opportunities? The sales volumes of three key past Top 10 bestsellers – Poinsettia drip feeders, red and glossy cream cover pots – are 80% down on the same week last year, which together with a drop in sales of floral foam bricks almost entirely accounts for the total year-on-year change.

  • Burgon and Ball’s Kneelo is a Christmas gift hit, new into the Top 50 at No 24.
  • Oasis Floral Foam Bricks are the highest re-entry at No 11, albeit on lower total volumes.
  • Gardman Ice Orb Solar lights continue at No 1.
