HOW IT WORKS
- Formulated without compost or pine bark to be less prone to fungus gnats
- It has been designed to use on all types of Indoor Plants to provide the nutrients they need for stronger root development
HOW TO USE
- Use Indoor Plant Potting Mix straight from the bag- no further additives required
- Select a clean pot, at least 25mm wider than the original and partly fill with potting mix
- Carefully knock the plant from its existing pot and loosen the root ball. Trim off any dead or damaged roots
- Position the plant in the pot and fill with potting mix. Do not pack potting mix down
- Thoroughly water the plant and allow it to drain freely. If necessary, top the potting mix up again to the suggested level of 2-3cm below the rim
- Place the pot in a sheltered spot for 5 days to allow the plant to settle and acclimatise before moving it to a permanent home
WHEN TO USE
- Indoor plant potting mixcan be used at any time of the year.
- Repotting established pot plants is best done either in Spring or Autumn - avoid Winter or Summer as the extremes of temperature may stress plants
- Flowering plants should be repotted after they have flowered - enjoy the blooms first!
ONGOING PLANT CARE
- Indoor Plant Premium Potting Mix contains a balanced fertiliser up to 6 months - additional fertiliser may be required in time, depending on plant needs
- Avoid allowing plants to dry out - plants should be watered immediately after potting and frequently enough to keep the potting mix moist (not wet)
- Plants should be re-potted with new potting mix when they have outgrown the pot or after 12-18 months
