I have been using these as a preventive measure when I grow my veg in living soil. Have been using for 3 years down they haven't let me down.
Slow release sachets for Fuchsia Gall Mite (Amblyseius Andersoni)
Couldn't load pickup availability
Amblyseius Andersoni is primarily used to prevent and treat Fuchsia Gall Mite. It's an excellent product for catching the mites as they comes out of hibernation in the early spring. DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A GALL MITE INFESTATION, SEE ADVICE BELOW.
The sachets contain a breeding colony of mites that crawl out slowly over a period of 4-6 weeks stopping an infestation from taking hold. If you already have the pest in large numbers please cut the worst of the infestation away before introducing the predators.
These predatory mites are widely used in commercial glasshouses to control unwanted plant pests. Amblyseius Andersoni is used to treat different species of Red Spider Mite (Tetranychus spp. and Panonychus spp.) Fuchsia Gall Mites, Pear Blister Mites, Rust Mites and Thrips, it can tolerate a wide range of high and low temperatures 6°C to 40°C, making it a great early season control.
If you have left it a bit long for the slow release to get on top of the population, if a pest population is already established it will be difficult for Amblyseius species to gain effective control quickly. Species such as Phytoseiulus stand a better chance at bringing about a curative control due to the species ability to move easily across the webbing structure. You can fine that product here.

Gardening organically is a more affordable and long term alternative to using chemical fertilisers. Natural Grower products eliminate waste because the nutrients are slowly released to the plants as they need them. Over the long-term you save money because your soil health naturally improves, which in turn produces healthier, stronger, disease resistant plants. Chemical products may cost less financially in the short term, but they don’t provide any long-term benefits and the damage they do to the natural eco-system in the soil is costly.
Organic fertilisers are broken down slowly by organisms in the soil to produce a more measured, consistent, natural release of nutrients. This results in uniform growth with strong stems and leaves, unlike chemical fertilisers which provide a sudden boost resulting in tall lanky plants. Stronger plants are more resistant to disease, and with the presence of mycorrizhal fungi to strengthen the roots, the plants, soil and fungi all work together long-term to create the perfect natural eco-system.
The organic matter in Natural Grower will help keep your soil or compost in optimum condition, retain moisture over the dry summer months and improve the health and structure of your soil. The presence of natural Mycorrhizal fungi in our products enhances root growth, enabling plants to extract nutrients and absorb water more efficiently from the soil or compost. By using our products you will be supporting and enhancing the natural eco-system in the soil.
Natural Grower’s chemical free fertiliser products are approved organic, biodynamic and vegan. Plant-based and free from chemicals they are safe to use around wildlife, pets and children.
