Hoya Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Fill around the root ball

   Add fresh compost in small portions and firm gently. Close large gaps without compacting the medium hard.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

5 ml per 1.5 l of water.

Every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

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.
