Alocasia Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. Check the Alocasia and its root space

   Repot when needed. Choose a suitable pot with drainage and modest additional room around the root ball.

2. Prepare the planting space

   Prepare a clean pot with clear drainage holes. Allow suitable additional space around the existing root ball.

3. Release the root ball gently

   Unpot while preserving healthy fine roots. Gently loosen a dense outer root mat without unnecessarily breaking up the ball.

4. Loosen the compost

   Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.

5. Retain the planting level

   Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.

6. Fill around the sides

   Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.

7. Water in slowly

   Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.

8. Support establishment

   After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

Add one capful (5 ml) to 2 l of water for watering or spraying.

Every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

1. Shake

   Shake the concentrate before use.

2. Prepare water

   Pour the required amount of water into a suitable container.

3. Select strength

   Use standard 100%, young plants 50%, or seedlings with leaves 20% of the basic dilution. Concentration does not determine the watering volume needed.

4. Measure concentrate

   Measure the calculated amount accurately with a suitable measuring aid.

5. Mix

   Add the concentrate to the water and mix evenly.

6. Apply as needed

   Feed the already moist root ball when nutrients are needed; do not overwater using a rigid water volume.

Do not mix the entire bottle into the bag. The compost is ready to use; dilute the concentrate separately with water.
