Hibiscus Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. Check the plant and need

   Inspect the root ball, compost and water uptake. Allow only the additional root space actually needed.

2. Choose a suitable container

   Choose a stable pot with clear drainage holes. Consider mature plant size and the available space.

3. Prepare the workspace

   Prepare a clean surface and tools, and loosen the compost. Keep drainage holes open; a thick gravel layer is not a universal requirement.

4. Remove the plant from its pot

   Gently release the root ball from its old container. First assess persistent wetness, odour and damaged roots.

5. Check the root ball

   Gently loosen loose outer compost and remove dead parts selectively. Do not heavily prune healthy roots without a reason.

6. Set planting depth

   First add a bed of compost and place the root ball on it at its previous planting depth. Fill around, firm lightly and leave space for watering.

7. Fill and water in

   Water evenly according to the plant’s needs. Excess water must escape through clear drainage holes; empty the outer pot or saucer. Top up settled compost if necessary without burying the stem base.

8. Support establishment

   After 4–6 weeks assess supplementary feeding according to the label and plant requirements; account for initial nutrients.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

5 ml per 2.5 l of water.

Every 1–2 weeks according to the label.

May to 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.
