On Amazon, this kit has amassed over 1.6k reviews, with the majority bestowing 5-stars. One happy customer who picked up this Gardena kit says: "Our potted plants were still in perfect shape after being alone for more than a month during summer vacation. It's good to have some trial period before the vacation to see what is the right amount of water for each plant (we have 5 plants from big to small with very different needs)."
Another beams: "Just before I had to leave for 3 weeks, I realized that during this period no one can pour my flowers in the apartment. Family and friends live too far away and I didn't want to entrust my key to my neighbors. So I inquired on the Internet about solutions and came across automatic irrigation systems like this one relatively quickly. These are already available for from 20€, but the ratings are also accordingly mediocre. Therefore, I decided on more expensive variant of gadena and I did not regret it. The quality of all components is excellent from my point of view. In the scope of delivery there is plenty of hose, which can be individually and easily cut to size. For the first setup for my 7 indoor plants I took about an hour, whereby I also took time and wanted to do everything very carefully. So this is certainly faster."
Though this shopper does note: "I have been using this system year round for 3 years. It takes care of the plants that are awaiting display in my home. If I'm away I move all plants to the corner where it is set up. It is somewhat fiddly to set up, but so worth it. I'm probably going to get a second set."
You can pick up this set for £70.97, down from £114.48, over on Amazon. Or, you can buy a smaller at-home watering kit from Gardena at Debenhams for £26.98. Meanwhile, over at B&Q, shoppers can pick up this Mighty Dripper Greenhouse Plant Watering Irrigation System Gravity Fed Water Drip Kit for £16.99.

Tropical indoor house plant that grows 'beautiful large green leaves'
Banana plants are great statement houseplants, they are slow growing and have thick leaves on a sturdy rootstock Green-thumbed enthusiasts will be thrilled to find a sizeable plant that's versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor environments. Banana plants, also known as Carethe Musa oriental dwarf, are of the tropical variety and can be kept indoors and outdoors on patios in the summer (when warm), according to its care instructions Hailing from the sun-kissed realms of Southeast Asia and Australia, the banana plant flourishes best in warm temperatures and generous sunlight. Notedly a slow-grower, it has dense foliage and robust roots, ensuring an eye-catching display. Shoppers can buy a set of four banana plants from Yimbly for £36.95. Yimbly, is an online marketplace owned by the Mirror's parent company Reach Plc, and shipping on a customer's first order is free, the Express reports. The set of four plants is from a popular gardening brand called Plant In a Box. Banana plants are 'extremely popular' and can be found in 'almost every interior magazine', Yimbly states. The retailer also describes the house plants as growing 'beautiful, large, green leaves'. The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery (measured including the nursery pot). Amazon also sells the Plant In a Box foursome (£36.95), where potential buyers can find reviews and ratings. A shopper commented: "I have literally just taken these out of the box and put them in plant pot holders. They are really healthy and strong with loads of new growth." Another added: "Really happy with them. Fingers crossed, I can keep them looking beautiful." However, another customer voiced dissatisfaction, writing: "Arrived broken unfortunately." To keep banana plants thriving, they require a lot of warmth, with a minimum temperature of 13°c. During the winter months, the plant can tolerate cooler temperatures, so it's recommended to reduce watering. When summer arrives, owners can move the plant outside to the terrace, as long as it's not too cold, but be sure to bring it inside before the first frost sets in, as it can't tolerate frost. For those new to gardening, buying a bundle of plants can save time and money. YouGarden offers a Houseplant Collection with Pots (£39.99 for a set of three) featuring Chaemaedorea elegans, Dracaena marginata, and Fiscus elastic. According to the gardening website, these three varieties are "reliable performers" that will provide stunning displays for years to come, making the bundle a lovely housewarming gift for a loved one. Meanwhile, B&Q also has a wide range of indoor houseplants. This large Livistona Palm is priced at £45. This plant is 50-60 cm in height (including the pot) and is known for its elegant, fan-shaped leaves. Back to the banana plant bundle from Plant In a Box, another reviewer on Amazon raved: "Arrived on time. Absolutely amazing health. The size was amazing. Quality and appearance were on top. Plant health was perfect." Yet another purchaser summed things up succinctly, stating: "Beautiful plants."

Viking-age jar found by metal detectorist in Scotland to go on display for first time
The rock crystal jar is part of a wider collection of items discovered in 2014 called the Galloway Hoard. A Viking-age rock crystal jar, once owned by a mystery bishop is set to go on public display for the first time. The artefact, previously owned by a bishop, was part of a hoard found by a metal detectorist is to go on public display for the first time later this year. It was buried near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway around 900AD, where it stayed hidden until a metal detectorist discovered it in 2014. The jar will go on show at Kirkcudbright Galleries on November 8, close to where it was found. Standing 5cm high, the jar resembles a perfume bottle and is decorated with gold filigree. It is believed to have had an ecclesiastical function within the Catholic Church, as the gold inscription written on the jar says 'Bishop Hyguald had me made'. Because church records from the 9th century are patchy, researchers have struggled to identify Bishop Hyguald but believe he was likely a Northumbrian bishop. Dumfries and Galloway was previously part of the medieval kingdom of Northumbria. A further translation of an Old English runic inscription from the arm ring in the Galloway Hoard has been proposed, describing a portion of the hoard as 'the community's wealth'.

The jar, found wrapped in linen, was carefully unwrapped over several months to avoid damage, which is why it's only now ready for display. Martin Goldberg from National Museums Scotland said: 'The rock crystal jar is one of the highlight objects from the Galloway Hoard. 'From the beautiful rock crystal itself, originally carved in the form of a classical Corinthian column two thousand years ago, to the incredibly intricate gold decoration added hundreds of years later and including a clear inscription identifying its owner, this one object exemplifies the complex, connected and historic nature of the Galloway Hoard. 'The jar was the subject of international attention when we first revealed the inscription, and it's great to be able to put it on display it for the first time in Kirkcudbright.' Maureen Johnstone, chairwoman of Dumfries and Galloway Council's education, skills and community wellbeing committee, added: 'We are excited to see this important and unique object in Kirkcudbright. 'Dumfries and Galloway Council is very proud of the ongoing partnership with National Museums Scotland which has already produced two superb exhibitions at Kirkcudbright Galleries. 'I have no doubt the rock crystal jar will be a fascinating exhibit, I am looking forward to it.' The Viking Age hoard was acquired by National Museums Scotland in 2017 with the support of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Art Fund, and the Scottish Government, as well as a major public fundraising campaign.
