Good pest and disease resistance

Good pest and disease resistance

Nemesias are generally pest and disease free, however in overly wet soil they can suffer from a condition called root rot and other similar fungal problems.

Water regularly

Water regularly

Water your nemesia regularly (roughly once per week) to keep the soil consistently moist. More regular watering might be required in particularly hot and dry periods. Take care not to over water your nemesia as this will leave it prone to fungal problems.

Moist, well drained soil

Moist, well drained soil

Best plants you will ever get online

I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Satisfied customer

Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
