Safer® Brand Has Indoor Gardeners Covered This Winter LITITZ, Pa., Dec. 28, 2010 -- Winter may not be the busiest gardening season, but for gardeners who have brought outdoor plants inside during the coldest months, there is still plenty of work to be done. Fortunately, Safer® Brand (http://www.saferbrand.com) is committed to helping indoor gardeners keep their plants healthy all winter long. Safer® Brand products make it easy for even novice gardeners to have beautiful plants indoors without spending much money. Studies say the number one killer of houseplants is overwatering. This common mistake is entirely preventable, however, through winter-long use of Oxygen Plus® Liquid Plant Food. Just two pumps of the food mix up with a quart of water -- making one 16-ounce bottle of Oxygen Plus® likely to last the entire winter while preventing damage to plants from overwatering. If insects are the problem, Safer® Brand Insect Killing Soap and Houseplant Insect Killer III are the answer. Both all-natural products are safe for use on houseplants and on flowers, roses and ornamentals that are wintering indoors; both kill on contact. Safer® Brand Insect Killing Soap is USDA-approved for organic gardening and targets whiteflies, mealybugs, spider mites and soft-bodied insects. Houseplant Insect Killer III kills hard-bodied insects in addition to spider mites and soft-bodied insects. Safer® Brand even makes it easy to rid houseplants of hidden pests. Houseplant Sticky Stakes sit right in the houseplant’s soil and effectively trap aphids, fungus gnats, whiteflies and other small insects that are hard to find in plants. But what about the indoor plant that can be found in most American homes this time of year? Safer® Brand has a solution for that, as well: the company’s free January eNewsletter will feature an article on recycling fresh-cut Christmas trees to benefit the garden and the environment. (And it doesn’t hurt that eNewsletter subscribers save 10% on every Safer® Brand order.) “In all seasons, Safer® Brand encourages home gardeners to join the organic gardening community,” said Justin Emig, category development associate for Safer® Brand. “The Safer® Brand Facebook page (http://facebook.com/saferbrand/) is a perfect place to start, giving organic gardeners a place to exchange ideas and gardening success stories, and offering year-round tips and how-to videos to help gardeners keep their houseplants healthy no matter what the weather is doing outside.” About Safer® Brand The world leader in organic insect control, organic plant disease control and organic gardening products for over 20 years, Safer® Brand offers the broadest and deepest selection of quality insect control and plant disease control products at competitive prices.
