Repotting in eight steps
Plant-based and mineral components
Wood fibre and bark humus combine with peat, lava, clay and perlite. Loosen before filling and firm gently around the root ball.
-
Choose a suitable pot
Choose a stable container that gives the root ball a little additional growing space. Avoid an unnecessarily oversized container.
-
Keep drainage clear
Check drainage holes and prepare a clean saucer. Do not block the holes when filling.
-
Prepare the root ball
Carefully remove the plant. Remove loose old compost from the outside and gently loosen tightly circling outer roots.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use compost and add a first layer to the container. Do not add extra starter fertiliser.
-
Position the bay laurel
Position Laurus nobilis with the top of its root ball at the previous level. Leave a watering space below the rim.
-
Fill around the roots
Fill the sides and firm gently. Stabilise the root ball without heavily compacting the compost.
-
Water and drain
Water slowly to settle the compost around the roots. Allow excess to drain completely and empty the saucer.
-
Continue care and feeding
Check root-ball moisture over the following days. Begin appropriate feeding after 4–6 weeks during active growth; reduce inputs in a cool winter position.
Ongoing plant care
Bay laurel suits a bright position and can spend the warm season on a balcony or terrace. Reintroduce direct sun gradually after winter. Water according to need and allow excess to drain; water much less in a cool winter position.
