Root space & plant care
Mediterranean Plant Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Match watering and winter conditions to the species: oleanders and olives have different needs. Provide adequate root space and drainage in the container. Compost alone does not make a frost-sensitive plant hardy.
Details & background

Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for Mediterranean container plants. 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
Prepare the mix
This texture image belongs to the product. Loosen before filling and firm only lightly around the root ball.
-
Choose the plant and winter position
Identify the species and plan its summer and winter positions. Choose suitable container size and stability.
-
Prepare the planting space
Choose a suitable container with clear drainage holes and additional space around the root ball. Use only in soil-independent growing systems such as pots and containers.
-
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
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Match watering and winter conditions to the species: oleanders and olives have different needs. Provide adequate root space and drainage in the container. Compost alone does not make a frost-sensitive plant hardy.
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?
After about 4–6 weeks, 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?
Match watering and winter conditions to the species: oleanders and olives have different needs. Provide adequate root space and drainage in the container. Compost alone does not make a frost-sensitive plant hardy.
