Technology revolution for orchid care
 
Garden Products

There’s an Orchid care revolution going on at the moment and it’s being led by Growth Technology.

Their products take up eight of the GTN Bestsellers Top 20 sales positions and have three of the Top 5 UK garden products bestsellers.

  • Orchid Myst, 100ml is at No 3
  • 15cm Clear Pots are at No 4
  • 12cm Clear Pots move up to No 5.

In total Growth Technology have 11 orchid care lines across the GTN Bestsellers charts with two Orchid compost pack sizes in the Growing media Top 50.  Perhaps they should come up with a Christmas specific Orchid care product then they could make a clean sweep of all the GTN Bestsellers charts.

Tree stakes and Weedstop were other products to see big sales increases last week as autumn tree planting kicked into gear.  Gardman 1.8m round tree stakes re-enterd the chart at No 32 and packs of Woven weedstop in 1m x 2m pre-cut sizes came back in at No 24, rejoining the 10m rolls which moved up to No 17.

Autumn garden cleaning continues to fuel bestselling lines:

  • Creative Products 2 in 1 paving brush moves up 4 places to No 23.
  • Brintons Patio Magic, 2.5 litres, re-enters at No 36.
  • Algon Organic Algae Remover Patio Cleaner is at No 29.
At last packs of Rootgrow, 150g grams, have made it into the Top 50.  As GTN Bestsellers has been advocating that this product could be sold with nearly every plant at this time of the year, it’s good to see volume sales increase this week, but we hazard a guess that plenty more could be sold if plant sales staff were incentivised to promote it.  After all it has had TV approval from the RHS and Alan Titchmarsh!
