It pays to explore

You know, we have so many products that sometimes I miss a couple.  When I’m at work, I’ll be surfing through our website checking in different categories or I’ll be glancing through our showroom looking at different samples we’ve received and I tell ya, I find new stuff all the time!  I just find all sorts of cool things that I never even knew we had and sometimes I’m just like, “Why didn’t I know about this?!”  So I just thought I’d update you on my most current findings while searching the office.

I happened to stumble across a WaterStik.  I was in shock after reading the packaging because it really is a cool product.  All you have to do is stick it into the soil of a potted plant and it will automatically blink, either blue, green, yellow or red, telling you whether you have over-watered, watered just right, need to water soon, or need to water now!  How cool is that!  It’s easy to use (you just have to be able to tell your colors apart), and it’s cheap- $15.99.  Ya really can’t get much better than that.

The other thing I discovered was a LiteStik.  It is essentially the same thing as the WaterStik, except, obviously, for providing light to your plant.  The thing about this one is that I saw somebody else at the office using one, and I just never really realized how awesome it was until I found it today.  But it really is cool because you can put your plant anywhere(!) now and it will still have a sufficient amount of light to survive with.  It also comes in a Blooming Plant Version which is to use with plants that have blooming flowers.  They are both simple to use and allow you to have more options with where you keep your houseplants.  More freedom!

So I’m gonna have to say that this little Exploring Session went really well considering that I found some awesome new products to inform you about.  But who knows, you probably already knew about them!
