How to use Crypto
Crypto comes in a sachet with about 30 larvae and buckwheat husks. The larvae resemble mealybugs in appearance, but are harmless to your home and only move across plants.
Place part of the contents into the supplied hanging box and hang it near the infested areas. Distribute the rest over the affected plant pots. One sachet is sufficient for approximately 1 m² of planted area.
Storage tip
Use immediately after delivery. If needed, you may store the sachet for 1–2 days in a dark, well-ventilated place at 12–15 °C. Handle with care to avoid crushing the larvae.
Important to know
Crypto are living organisms – handle gently. Wear gloves when using, especially if you’re allergic to shellfish or dust mites.
Your plants are excellently protected during transport in a custom-made box. The houseplants are neatly transported upright, which significantly reduces the risk of damage compared to transport in a regular passenger car.
