Repot with ease
Hops cover suitable supports with vigorous seasonal shoots. This ready-to-use compost is intended for growing Humulus lupulus in pots. Adequate container volume and a sturdy support are part of the plan.
- Plan the container and support
Choose a sufficiently large stable container with clear drainage holes. Secure the support before planting.
- Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
- Support establishment
No earlier than 4 weeks after planting, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
No earlier than 4 weeks after planting, feed responsively during active growth.

Root space & plant care
Hop Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Guide shoots onto a suitable support in good time and monitor water use in the container. Hop shoots die back above ground in winter and regrow from the perennial root system. Account for space needs and cultivar characteristics in continued care.

Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for hops (Humulus lupulus). The space around the root ball determines the amount required.
Details & background
See the product information for the full composition and nutrient declaration. Account for the existing nutrient supply before adding further fertiliser.
Repotting in eight steps
Repot hops in a container
Prepare a stable container with drainage and enough room for the root ball. Secure the support before planting and fill around the root ball with compost at its previous planting level.
-
Plan the container and support
Choose a sufficiently large stable container with clear drainage holes. Secure the support before planting.
-
Prepare the planting space
Prepare a suitable container with clear drainage holes and additional room around the root ball. For soil-independent pot culture only.
-
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 medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.
-
Retain the planting level
Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.
-
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. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.
-
Support establishment
No earlier than 4 weeks after planting, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Guide shoots onto a suitable support in good time and monitor water use in the container. Hop shoots die back above ground in winter and regrow from the perennial root system. Account for space needs and cultivar characteristics in continued care.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
No. The mix contains high-moor peat and the other ingredients listed in the product information.
When should I feed?
No earlier than 4 weeks after planting, feed responsively during active growth.
How much compost do I need?
The space between the existing root ball and the new planting space is decisive. The bag contains 10 litres; the root ball already occupies part of the volume.
What matters in continued care?
Guide shoots onto a suitable support in good time and monitor water use in the container. Hop shoots die back above ground in winter and regrow from the perennial root system. Account for space needs and cultivar characteristics in continued care.
