Ponytail Palm Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. Check whether repotting is needed

   Check root development and compost structure before repotting. Work near the start of active growth where possible.

2. 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.

3. Provide free drainage

   Keep drainage holes open. Ensure you can empty the outer pot or saucer later.

4. 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.

5. Keep the original planting depth

   Keep the swollen trunk base exposed at its previous level. Do not heap compost around it.

6. 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.

7. Assess moisture

   Assess root injuries, existing moisture and temperature before watering. Avoid automatic heavy watering or a fixed dry waiting period.

8. 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.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

10 ml per 2.5 l water.

Every 2–3 weeks during active growth.

Regular application period: April–September.

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.
