PLANTS for PLEASURE and AIR HEALTH

These are grown by myself in new, well fed soils and all have established root systems. Over time I have found most plants these days are prone to insects, so it always pays to keep an eye on their condition for the best results.

Monstera Delicosa = $10 and $12
Fruit Salad Plant x 2 only. They'll get big in big pots or stay smaller if you choose.

Calathea Zebrina = $12
A vari toned Calathea. There is a huge variety of this genus and I love the deep contrast of green in this one.

Maranta Lueconeura = $10 or $12
A Prayer Plant (with red stripes), with leaves that curl at night. These like reflected light and to be kept near, not close to, windows. They like to droop over the edge of your container, so positioned suitably is always a good choice. Once well established and come Spring they will be on their way. They frequently have a wee mauve flower on the end of a stem.

Aloe Vera = $10
Multi individual plants in a pot x 1 $10. Can be split up and planted or distributed separately. They wouldn't like damp shady places much, but otherwise are pretty easy going. For scratches, burns, cuts they are brilliant. I've used glass and soldering irons a lot and minor cuts or burns are sure to be 'gone' with use of aloe vera jell (the inside of the leaves) as well as bites, grazes and such. Personally, but for no particular reason I would not apply them to open wounds.

Bromeliads = $3-4 ea and one mult-plant pot $24
Various of the more everyday type. Up to 20 at $3-4 each. Some bigger, some younger. The group of flowering ones with the pot (inner pot) are $24.00. These are easy to keep, live on little, multiply well and flower, in normal conditions. They are watered from their centre.

All are for pick up in Levin or by arrangement for nearby multiple purchase/s.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Help us reach our goal of 5,000 signatures to get Pharmac to reinstate Medtronic Insulin Pump funding for Type 1 Diabetics!!!!...
So why am I trying to get this out there? Our daughter was 7 1/2mths old when diagnosed so we NEEDED a pump with very low dosages. She is now 4 years old and still a small build and we are still using small dosages (something that won't even go through on the other pumps or manual pens!!!). What is a game-changer is that it is waterproof and with a child that loves the water we now feel at ease. And LOVE those nights that we don't have to wake up every 2 hours and check her blood sugars. Those dreaded sleepless baby nights did NOT go away until we were fully settled with the Medtronic 780G pump 3 years later, only alerting us to low and super high blood sugar levels.

We urge Pharmac to reconsider its recent decision to reverse funding for the Medtronic insulin pump Guardian 4 hybrid closed-loop system for those living with Type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, include the G4 CGM in the proposed funding plan. This decision has left many users shocked and concerned about their ability to effectively manage their health.

The Medtronic system boasts the most advanced algorithms used in 150 countries, crucial for managing blood glucose levels and ensuring the well-being and peace of mind of countless individuals. For many of us, access to this technology is not just a convenience but a lifeline, enabling us to live fulfilling lives and stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Switching to a new insulin pump or CGM can be a challenging and stressful process for us as parents let alone teaching the kindy teachers how to use it all over again.

So, if you could please give a little time to sign this petition to help little ones like our daughter have access to the best technology that suits their bodies that would be greatly appreciated.
