WE OFFER REPAIRS AT CACTUSLAB
We genuinely believe that we make some of the staunchest products on earth. Designing them, prototyping them and making the majority of them ourselves allows us to ensure they're as rugged as possible. Engineering for longevity rather than planned obsolescence means we can bake in strength and forget superfluous features.
So, it's safe to say that we're confident our gear won't let you down. We believe in making stuff that will last and can be enjoyed for years and years. Depending on the product, where and how you use it, all products will eventually wear out over time. Although we don't offer a warranty wear and tear - we still believe that the longevity of a product is the answer to the environmental impacts of what we do and hence we offer a repair service to keep your Cactus gear going. And going. And going...
Repairs are like scars, each one has a story to tell.
Here at Cactus, we love a pair of patched Supertrousers, but we also love doing our bit for the environment. We pride ourselves on offering a service that ensures our gear doesn't head to the landfill after a few years of use.
- Spring or summer is the best time to plant Kōwhai.
- Drag the seed lightly across sandpaper to enable water to penetrate it.
- Fill a small container (yoghurt pottle-sized) with potting mix. Ensure it has plenty of drainage holes.
- Thoroughly water it and leave it to drain.
- Create a 1cm-deep hole in the mix.
- Place your seed in the hole.
- Put this in a warm place out of direct sunlight.
- Wait 2-4 weeks, watering occasionally so the soil doesn't dry out.
- Once a seedling appears, place your pot in the full sun.
- Do not over water it.
-
Once the seedling is approx. 8cm tall - repot it into a larger pot, about 10cm x 10cm. Avoid damaging the roots.
- It will be fine here for the first year, but move it to a larger pot as needed.
- Your Kōwhai will be ready to plant in the wild after about 2 years!
