Mediterranean Plant Compost

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.

Oleanders and olives bring southern character to a terrace. This ready-to-use compost is intended for potting and repotting Mediterranean plants in containers. Organic and mineral ingredients are combined with an initial nutrient supply.

Composition & nutrition

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.

1. 1

   Choose the plant and winter position

   Identify the species and plan its summer and winter positions. Choose suitable container size and stability.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Release the root ball gently

   Unpot while preserving healthy fine roots. Gently loosen a dense outer root mat without unnecessarily breaking up the ball.

4. 4

   Loosen the compost

   Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Fill around the sides

   Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.

7. 7

   Water in slowly

   Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.

8. 8

   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.
