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.
-
Plan the outdoor use
Plan the planting hole, new bed or raised bed. For woody plants, account for mature size and site requirements.
-
Prepare the planting space
Loosen existing garden soil and address compaction in the planting area. Plan the required filling layer for raised beds.
-
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 compost and distribute it in the prepared planting area. When using it as a raised-bed filling layer, allow room for the final planting layer.
-
Retain the planting level
When planting, retain the root ball at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown more deeply.
-
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 and surrounding soil. Adapt subsequent watering to soil moisture and plant needs.
-
Support establishment
Plan subsequent feeding according to plant needs and active growth, accounting for the nutrients already present. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Soil moisture and plant needs determine continued care. This mix is not suited to plants preferring a low pH, such as rhododendrons. Account for the nutrients already present when planning further feeding.
