Root space & plant care
Aloe Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Provide bright light and introduce stronger sun gradually. Check moisture before watering and allow suitable drying between waterings. Water use decreases in lower light and cooler conditions.

Repotting in eight steps
Prepare the mix
This texture image belongs to the product. Loosen before filling and firm only lightly around the root ball.
-
Choose the Aloe and pot size
Identify the Aloe species and choose a stable container with drainage. Avoid a pot excessively larger than the existing root ball.
-
Prepare the planting space
Prepare a suitable container with clear drainage holes and suitable room around the root ball.
-
Release the root ball gently
Unpot while preserving healthy fine roots. Gently loosen a dense outer root mat without unnecessarily breaking up the ball.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.
-
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.
-
Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
-
Water in slowly
Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.
-
Support establishment
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Provide bright light and introduce stronger sun gradually. Check moisture before watering and allow suitable drying between waterings. Water use decreases in lower light and cooler conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
No. The mix contains high-moor peat and the other ingredients listed in the product information.
When should I feed?
