- Check pot and root ball
Choose a suitable container with clear drainage holes. Repot only when additional root space is needed.
- Maintain planting depth
Position the root ball gently, fill around it and leave watering space.
- Water and monitor
Water as needed and allow excess to drain. Monitor moisture and growth during the following weeks.
The label specifies starting supplementary feeding after 4–6 weeks. Account for growth, existing nutrition and root condition, then follow the selected fertiliser’s dilution.

Product knowledge & plant care
Container Plant Compost
For your green corner
A container becomes a favourite corner.
Agapanthus brings flowers to eye level and structure to sunny patio spaces. Suitable root space is part of its care, along with appropriate winter conditions.
Details & background
A container can transform a favourite corner. This ready-to-use compost gives suitable balcony and patio plants fresh root space. Peat, wood fibre, bark humus, lava, raw clay and perlite form the base, with nutrients already added.
Ready to use for potting and planting container plants on balconies and patios. The label limits use to growing systems separated from the ground, for example substrate culture in sealed trays.
Repotting: the complete process
Water reaches the root zone.
This potted-palm example shows watering onto the compost surface. For other suitable container plants, match water to root-ball condition and weather, allowing excess to drain.
The steps illustrate repotting a lily of the Nile. For other container plants, follow their own root and site requirements.
-
Assess the need
Inspect roots, medium and water uptake. Agapanthus does not need a much larger pot every year; a well-rooted ball alone is not an emergency.
-
Choose the container
Choose a stable pot offering only the extra root space needed. Clear drainage holes are important.
-
Prepare the work area and drainage
Prepare a work surface and tools. Keep drainage holes clear; a thick extra gravel layer is not a universal requirement.
-
Release the root ball gently
Release the root ball without pulling leaves or flower stems. Preserve healthy fleshy agapanthus roots where possible.
-
Set the planting height
Add medium beneath the root ball and keep its former height. Do not bury the plant base deeply.
-
Fill around the sides
Fill in small portions and let the medium settle gently. Avoid hard compaction and leave watering space.
-
Water and allow drainage
Water according to the plant’s needs. Let excess water drain and check filled saucers.
-
Follow establishment
Check moisture regularly and acclimatise to the final position after repotting. Account for initial nutrients; the label specifies further feeding after 4–6 weeks.
After repotting
The label specifies starting supplementary feeding after 4–6 weeks. Account for growth, existing nutrition and root condition, then follow the selected fertiliser’s dilution. Myrtle Fertiliser: For container-grown Myrtus communis: ensure drainage and account for existing starter nutrients before feeding as needed during active growth.
For agapanthus, the species also determines winter conditions: evergreen and deciduous forms should not automatically receive identical care.
For later feeding: Cestrum Fertiliser.
Match use to the plant
Ready to use for potting and planting container plants on balconies and patios. The label limits use to growing systems separated from the ground, for example substrate culture in sealed trays.
Common questions
Is this compost peat-free?
No. The label lists raised-bog peat H3–H8 alongside other plant-derived and mineral materials.
Must I feed immediately when repotting?
The label specifies starting supplementary feeding after 4–6 weeks. Account for growth, existing nutrition and root condition, then follow the selected fertiliser’s dilution.
Does it suit every container plant?
Select the mix according to plant needs. Acid-loving specialists, epiphytic orchids and sensitive cacti need other or individually assessed media.
Can I spread it directly in garden soil?
Ready to use for potting and planting container plants on balconies and patios. The label limits use to growing systems separated from the ground, for example substrate culture in sealed trays.
The plant behind the container
Agapanthus combines strap-like leaves with flowers held high above them. The plant profile explains evergreen and deciduous forms.
