It's time to repot when:
- The plant is overgrown and root bound (roots are densely wrapped).
- Roots are growing out of the drainage holes.
- The plant’s lower leaves turn yellow or drop off.
- Compost is faded or crusty.
How to repot
- Wash the containers and water the plant.
- Place a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Rose, Tree & Shrub Compost in the base of the pot.
- Tap out the plant from the old pot, loosen the root ball and place in the centre of the pot.
- Fill the space around the root ball, ensuring the compost level covers all the roots.
- Firm lightly water thoroughly and let drain.
Planting in beds and borders
- Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.
- Position the plant and fill with 50% soil and 50% of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Rose, Tree & Shrub Compost and firm around the base.
- Water thoroughly. We recommend using Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Border Booster to further enrich the soil.
