  • Taking the time to buy healthy plants will ensure the plant lasts longer.
  • Read your plants care label and become aware of what it needs as every plant is different.

  • Regularly remove any dead leaves or flowers from your plant.
  • Using leaf shine sprays can help protect your plant from disease.
  • Outdoor plant pots will need drainage holes and a pot plate to catch the excess water.
  • Some indoor plant pots will have an internal water well step to lift the pot and prevent root rot.

When we think of adhesive tapes we immediately think of sticky tape. Before pressure sensitive adhesive tapes (PSA’s) were invented, glue and paper was used to secure and bind packaging. The discovery of sticky tape came about when a scientist working for 3M back in 1925 discovered masking tape. Then, the same scientist discovered cello tape which was named Scotch® Magic Tape.
