| FlowerPot Cages | |
|---|---|
| Johnson Flowerpot cages are light and airy, providing natural conditions for keeping a very wide variety of insects in best health, such as various stages of Butterflies and Moths, Mantids, Stick Insects, Beetles, Spiders, Aphids etc. They are easy to fit and use, both with growing plants and cut plants in water jars, and the insects inside are easily seen. The 7 and 10 inch diameter types are very suitable as economical starter cages for window sills.
Designed for indoor or outdoor use, they have self supporting, rust resisting, metal frames, with high transparency black net cover and elastic base fitting to accommodate a range of pot sizes. They can be very quickly dismantled for flat storage after use. All are supplied in flat packs with instructions, in the wide range of sizes shown below. |
