-
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
Retain the existing crown level. Do not bury or damage new croziers or a tree fern’s growing point.
-
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.
-
Water and allow drainage
Check moisture in the old root ball and fresh compost after planting. Moisten as needed and allow excess water to drain.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
What limits plant growth
Consider light, water, roots and nutrients together.
Read moreQuick answers before you buy (FAQ)
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 where growth and nutrient supply require it. Account for soil reserves outdoors and initial compost nutrients in pots.
How do I set the correct planting depth?
Retain the existing crown level. Do not bury or damage new croziers or a tree fern’s growing point.
