Product knowledge & plant care
Hibiscus Compost
For your growing space
A new place to grow
The root zone should absorb water while allowing excess moisture to escape. Repotting calls for a suitable container, gentle handling of the root ball and steady establishment.

Repotting: the complete process
A closer look at the structure
Raised-bog peat H3–H8; forestry-derived plant materials (wood fibre, bark humus); rock (lava); clay (raw clay); perlite; calcium carbonate; NPK fertiliser.
These eight steps show repotting an already rooted plant.
-
Check the plant and need
Inspect the root ball, compost and water uptake. Allow only the additional root space actually needed.
-
Choose a suitable container
Choose a stable pot with clear drainage holes. Consider mature plant size and the available space.
-
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.
-
Remove the plant from its pot
Gently release the root ball from its old container. First assess persistent wetness, odour and damaged roots.
-
Check the root ball
Gently loosen loose outer compost and remove dead parts selectively. Do not heavily prune healthy roots without a reason.
-
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.
-
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.
