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.
-
Check the plant and its light conditions
Check the species and root development. Prepare a slightly larger pot with clear drainage holes.
-
Prepare the planting space
Prepare a suitable container with clear drainage holes and additional room around the root ball. For soil-independent pot culture only.
-
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
No earlier than 4 weeks after repotting, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Provide bright indirect light, steady warmth and suitable humidity. Check root moisture before watering; avoid persistently wet compost or complete drying. Use low-lime water where possible.
For later feeding: Maranta Fertiliser.
