Growing medium & roots
Drainage, pot size and attentive watering work together. New compost does not automatically heal damaged roots.

-
Check whether repotting is needed
Look for roots filling the container or a growing medium that has lost structure. Repot when needed, preferably as active growth begins.
-
Choose a suitable container
Allow a little fresh compost beside the existing root ball. A small root ball in a very large pot often stays wet too long. Secure a hanging basket or flower box safely.
-
Provide free drainage
Check drainage holes and clear blockages. A closed outer pot does not replace a growing pot with an outlet. A coarse extra layer is not required by these instructions.
-
Release the root ball gently
Loosen the container and support the plant by its root ball. Do not pull on leaves or thin vines. Preserve healthy roots and remove only loose old compost.
-
Keep the original planting depth
Add a little compost, place the root ball and keep its surface at the previous level. Do not bury the stem base or crown further. Leave a watering rim.
-
Fill around the root ball
Add fresh compost in small portions and firm gently. Close large gaps without compacting the medium hard.
-
Water and allow drainage
Moisten slowly and evenly, including the fresh compost beside the root ball. Remove excess water completely from the saucer or outer pot.
-
Follow establishment
After 4–6 weeks, review nutrition as directed on the label and begin supplementary feeding if needed. Account for initial nutrients; do not add feed simply by the calendar. Initially check moisture in the old root ball and new compost separately.
The following weeks
After 4–6 weeks, review nutrition as directed on the label and begin supplementary feeding if needed. Account for initial nutrients; do not add feed simply by the calendar.
Grow in bright light with protection from fierce summer sun. Let the medium approach dryness according to species and remove excess water. Keep plants in bud in their accustomed position where possible.

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 existing root ball already occupies space. Fresh compost is needed for the free space beside and beneath it, not automatically the container’s whole volume.
Is this compost peat-free?
No. The original label lists raised-bog peat as an ingredient.
Can I add fertiliser immediately?
After 4–6 weeks, review nutrition as directed on the label and begin supplementary feeding if needed. Account for initial nutrients; do not add feed simply by the calendar.
How do I set the correct planting depth?
Add a little compost, place the root ball and keep its surface at the previous level. Do not bury the stem base or crown further. Leave a watering rim.
