-
Check whether repotting is needed
Check root development and compost structure before repotting. Work near the start of active growth where possible.
-
Choose a suitable container
Choose a stable pot with a little space beside the root ball. An oversized container can remain wet around a small root system.
-
Provide free drainage
Keep drainage holes open. Ensure you can empty the outer pot or saucer later.
-
Release the root ball gently
Support the root ball and release it gently from the old pot. Retain healthy roots and avoid pulling leaves or stems.
-
Keep the original planting depth
Keep the swollen trunk base exposed at its previous level. Do not heap compost around it.
-
Fill around the root ball
Add fresh compost beneath and beside the root ball. Close large air pockets gently and leave a watering rim without compacting the medium hard.
-
Assess moisture
Assess root injuries, existing moisture and temperature before watering. Avoid automatic heavy watering or a fixed dry waiting period.
-
Follow establishment
After 4–6 weeks, begin supplementary feeding as directed on the label if the plant is actively growing and needs more nutrients. Initial compost nutrients count towards its supply.
The following weeks
After 4–6 weeks, begin supplementary feeding as directed on the label if the plant is actively growing and needs more nutrients. Initial compost nutrients count towards its supply.
Common questions
How much compost do I need?
The root ball already occupies space. Fill the remaining space around it rather than assuming the full pot volume is needed.
Is this peat-free?
No. The original label lists raised-bog peat as an ingredient.
When should supplementary feeding begin?
After 4–6 weeks, begin supplementary feeding as directed on the label if the plant is actively growing and needs more nutrients. Initial compost nutrients count towards its supply.
