<p>Predatory mites against dark red citrus and fruit tree mites (<em>Panonychus</em> sp.), 5000 individuals.</p> <p><em>Orders placed by Sunday evening are shipped the following Tuesday.</em></p> <p>Californicus predatory mites are the first choice against the dark red citrus and fruit tree mites (<em>Panonychus sp.</em>) on citrus, fig trees, peach, apple, and more. The common spider mite predator (<em>Phytoseiulus persimilis</em>) does not work against this type of mite.</p> <p>Californicus also affects common spider mites (<em>Tetranychus</em>) and can be good to use preventively before an observed infestation, as it can survive longer without food than the common spider mite predator (<em>Phytoseiulus persimilis</em>). Once an infestation of common spider mites is established, <span> </span><a href="https://shop.nyttodjur.se/shop/14-spinnkvalster/14-spinnrovkvalster/" target="_blank"><em><u>spider mite predators</u></em></a><span> </span>work better, as they move more easily in the webs than Californicus predatory mites.</p> <p>Use a magnifying glass to identify whether you have citrus mites or common greenhouse spider mites before ordering.</p> <p>The predatory mites are effective at temperatures between 12-38 °C but work best at 18-33 °C. They tolerate cold nights down to 3-4 °C but are not active at these temperatures.</p> <p>The product is delivered in packages of 5000 individuals.</p>

<p> Californicus predatory mites in bags for preventive control of spider mites, 10 small bags.<br></p> <p><em></em> <em>Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday.</em></p> <p> <em>Neoseiulus (Amblyseius) californicus</em> is a predatory mite used in the preventive control of spider mites. They are supplied in 10 small bags. These are hung out in the plants before, or when, spider mites are observed.</p> <p>Californicus is a 0.5mm large, transparent to light yellow predatory mite. It feeds, for example, on the common spider mite species, the greenhouse spider mite, which can affect both ornamental and vegetable plants.</p> <p> Californicus is a hardy predatory mite that can also survive on other mites and pollen. They are therefore well suited to use as a preventative against spider mites, as they can be released even before spider infestations are observed.</p> <p> Compared to the commonly used spider mite <a href="https://shop.nyttodjur.se/shop/14-spinnkvalster/14-spinnrovkvalster/" target="_blank"><u><em>Phytoseiulus persimilis,</em></u></a> Californicus can handle a wider temperature range. They can be used at temperatures between 8 and 35°C, with an optimum of 20-33°C. They are also less sensitive to drier environments.</p> <p> Californicus is also used to control red spider mites, such as citrus and fruit tree mites, which the common spider mite does not attack.</p> <p>However, in the event of widespread infestation of greenhouse spider mites, it is recommended<span> </span><a href="https://shop.nyttodjur.se/shop/14-spinnkvalster/14-spinnrovkvalster/" target="_blank"><em><u>spider mite</u></em></a> ( <em>Phytoseiulus persimilis),</em> which is then more effective.<em></em></p> <p> <strong>User manual</strong></p> <p> It is advisable to plant Californicus early in the growing season (in greenhouses in May/June) before the spider mites become too established.</p> <p> The bags are hung on the plant, on branches or leaf stalks. Use 1 bag per plant, or about 2-3 bags/m² .</p> <p> The predatory mites will get out of the bag and up over the plant. The bags will last 4-6 weeks. The bag does not need to be perforated further, it has small holes where the mites can come out.</p> <p> Avoid the bag coming into contact with the soil and hang it out of direct sunlight.</p> <p> The predatory mites should be released immediately after receipt, but can be stored for a couple of days at 15 degrees.</p>

<p>200g high-quality black tea in an exclusive package.</p> <h4> <meta charset="utf-8"> <strong><span>Origin:</span></strong> </h4> <p>This tea comes from the Malaysian highlands: <em>Cameron Highlands</em>. Cameron Highlands is a highland area in the Malaysian mountains discovered by the British in the late 1800s. They established a base there for experiments in cultivation and farming and eventually began planting extensive tea plantations in the hilly landscape – while building and settling in classic British cottages, creating golf courses, and other necessities for a British lifestyle in the mountains.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">This particular producer is called Cameron Valley, and they cultivate only so-called <em>highland tea</em>, meaning tea that comes from the highest altitudes in the area – unlike other producers in the region who mix their teas with tea grown in the lowlands, so-called <em>lowland tea</em>. Tea grown in the highlands is often more flavorful due to the cooler temperatures, which cause the bushes to grow more slowly, allowing nutrients to accumulate in a more compact structure in the leaves.</p> <p>The founder of Cameron Valley, <span>Shuparshad Bansal Agarwal,</span> established the plantations in the 1920s during the British Empire era. The company managed to grow alongside the British tea operators in the mountains and also survived the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, later flourishing after Malaysia's declaration of independence. The business began as a supplier of tea leaves in large quantities to leading Malaysian and international brands before forming its own retail brand in 1994: <em>Cameron Valley</em>, which today stands for some of the most consumed teas in the country. Cameron Valley has several cafés up in the mountains where one can go to taste their teas and see their tea plantations.</p> <p>Cameron Valley has until now only been available on the Malaysian market, as they have not worked with export before. What you see here is thus the brand’s first footprint on the European market. I believe their high-quality teas and interesting history can make them a popular and original brand in Europe.</p> <h4> <meta charset="utf-8"> <strong><span>Distinctive features:</span></strong><meta charset="utf-8"> </h4> <p>This tea is made from 100% so-called <em>highland</em> tea, meaning tea grown at high altitudes (unlike other producers in the country who often mix their teas with <em>lowland</em> tea). Tea grown at high altitudes is often more nutrient-rich and therefore also more flavorful than tea grown at lower altitudes. This is due to slower growth in the cooler mountains, which causes nutrients to accumulate in more compact structures in the leaves.</p> <p>The tea grade is called Orange Pekoe and is made from the bud and the two nearest lower leaves – this results in a fresh and <em>delicate</em> taste with a low level of bitterness. This exclusive blend contains a large proportion of (golden) buds and is in powdered form, which gives a more powerful brew.</p> <p>Cameron Valley’s teas are traditionally dried slowly on wooden surfaces, which gives a mild, nutty taste.</p> <p>Neatly packaged in a black and gold-colored tin. Suitable as a gift or for everyday tea.</p> <h4> <meta charset="utf-8"> <strong><span>Flavor profile:</span></strong> </h4> <p>A mild and soft black tea with a fresh and rounded taste, with slight notes of nut and flower.

<p>6 flavors x 5 bags of flavorful teas from Cameron Valley. Included flavors: Strawberry, Lychee, Orange, Earl Grey, Durian, and Blackcurrant.</p> <p>This is the perfect way to try Cameron Valley's flavorful teas. Their teas taste significantly richer than most teas found on the Swedish market.

<p>Fragrance for catching raspberries in the berry orchard. 1 capsule for use in a raspberry trap.</p> <p> <em>Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday.</em></p> <p> Raspberry meadows<span> </span><em>(Byturus tomentosus)</em><span> </span>can cause great damage to raspberries and blackberries. The adult beetle overwinters in the soil and wakes up in April. It then feeds on leaves, buds and pollen. When the temperature rises to 12-15 degrees, it begins to lay eggs in the raspberry flowers. The larva hatches and feeds on the ripe berries. It hides inside the berry, which makes it difficult to detect before the berry is picked.</p> <p> The trap has two ways of attracting raspberry flies:</p> <p> 1. The trap looks like a large raspberry flower with white crossed “wings”, and is designed to attract the raspberry weevil. When the raspberry weevil flies into the crossed white “wings”, they fall into a funnel and underneath it is a container of soapy water that prevents the raspberry weevil from getting out.</p> <p>2. It contains a scent that attracts the raspberry moth. To ensure a good catch, the specific scent for raspberry moths should be added to a special container on top of the trap.</p> <p> The trap comes with 1 capsule of fragrance and a special net to cover the funnel, so that bumblebees and bees do not fall down and get caught.</p> <p> <strong>User manual</strong></p> <p><strong></strong> The trap should be hung 4-6 weeks before flowering (April-May). It should be hung 1-1.5 meters above the ground. Fill with water and a few drops of soap or washing-up liquid. Clean up around the trap so that it is clearly visible and easily accessible.</p> <p> The raspberry leafhopper can also attack early autumn raspberries. Remember to buy extra fragrance for this period, so you have full good coverage.</p> <p> One trap covers an area of ​​up to 250 m ² .</p>

<p>Place at the bottom of pots - the net prevents soil from washing out. Also improves drainage and air circulation. Easy to cut to size.</p>
