Biological pest control against aphids
This biological method provides an effective solution against aphid infestations. You will receive Puncta, the natural enemy of aphids. These are ladybird larvae, known for their voracious appetite. Each package contains approximately 100 of these insects, and one sachet is sufficient to treat five medium-sized plants.

Puncta is delivered in a paper sachet filled with buckwheat husks. Part of the contents can be transferred into the provided cotton pouch, while the remaining portion can be scattered directly onto the infested houseplant. Hang the cotton pouch in the plant where aphids are present. Puncta will then begin to work on eliminating the infestation. We recommend repeating the treatment after two weeks to help prevent reinfestation.
How to store Puncta
As Puncta are living creatures, they should be handled with care. Avoid pressing or squeezing the sachet upon delivery, as this can harm or kill the larvae. Ideally, apply Puncta immediately according to the instructions. If storage is necessary, it should not exceed one day in a cool location with a temperature between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius. Do not store Puncta in a refrigerator, as it is too cold for them.
Important information
Puncta is most effective at temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius. The presence of ants may interfere with the larvae’s activity, so ensure the environment is properly prepared. Individuals allergic to shellfish, crustaceans, or house dust mites may experience allergic reactions to Puncta. Wearing gloves is advised.
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.
