Plumeria Repotting Set

Repotting in eight steps

1. Check the need and timing

   Is the root ball crowded, difficult to moisten or sitting in compost that has lost its structure? Assess the actual need and plan routine repotting towards the start of growth. This guide is for already rooted plants. Unrooted cuttings and plants with rot or freshly cut roots need a separate approach.

2. Choose the pot and amount of compost

   Choose a stable container with room for the existing root ball and some fresh compost. Shape and depth depend on the roots; a shallow bowl does not automatically suit every plumeria or desert rose. Have compost, a work surface and gloves ready. The old root ball remains part of the pot contents: the whole container volume is not needed as new compost.

3. Keep drainage open

   Check drainage holes and clear any blockage. A planting pot inside a closed decorative container needs its own open outlet. A coarse layer does not replace drainage holes and is not essential in every container. Water must be able to leave the pot.

4. Remove the old pot gently

   Release the old container by gently pressing or tapping it and support the root ball. Do not pull on tender branches, leaves or flowers. Preserve healthy roots and remove only loose old compost. If you find soft, dark or rotten areas, investigate the cause instead of potting the unchanged ball into wet compost.

5. Keep the previous planting depth

   Add some compost and place the ball on it. Its previous surface should sit below the container rim with space left for watering. Do not bury the stem base more deeply. Keep an already exposed adenium caudex uncovered; deliberately exposing or styling roots is not a required part of repotting.

6. Fill around the root ball

   Add compost around the ball in small portions. Hold the plant in position and close larger gaps with gentle pressure. Do not compact the mix hard. Check stability, planting depth and watering space before moving the container to its position.

7. Choose the first watering carefully

   For an actively growing plant with an undamaged root ball, water cautiously according to moisture need and let excess water drain. A resting plant, an already moist ball or injured roots requires a different approach. Do not immediately saturate every newly repotted succulent; establish suitable aftercare first where roots are damaged.

8. Follow establishment and feeding

   Provide the bright, warm position appropriate to the species and gradually adjust it to stronger sunlight after a move. Check both the old ball and new compost before watering again. Record the repotting date. The label specifies supplementary feeding after about four weeks; account for actual growth and nutrients already present. The frangipani plant profile helps with subsequent Plumeria care.

Prepare the fertiliser separately

Add one capful (5 ml) to 2.5 l of water for watering or spraying.

Every 1–2 weeks during the growing season.

Label application period: March–October; follow the plant's 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.

250 ml liquid fertiliser

NPK 5 + 18.8 + 5.7

Declared nutrient percentages. Product pH: 6.2.

• 5 % total nitrogen (N)
• 4.5 % ammonium nitrogen
• 18.8 % water-soluble phosphate (P₂O₅)
• 5.7 % water-soluble potassium oxide (K₂O)
• 0.01 % boron (B)
• 0.004 % copper (Cu) · EDTA chelate
• 0.02 % iron (Fe) · EDTA chelate
• 0.012 % manganese (Mn) · EDTA chelate
• 0.001 % molybdenum (Mo)
• 0.004 % zinc (Zn) · EDTA chelate

Compost in 5 or 10 litres: ingredients

Coir, peat and mineral ingredients.

Declared inputs are coir, perlite of natural origin, raised-bog peat H2–H5, rock, clay (raw clay), sand, calcium carbonate and NPK(Mg) fertiliser with trace nutrients.

The compost is ready to use and already contains nutrients. In a container, its moisture conditions also depend on pot shape, roots and actual watering. A growing-medium mix alone cannot prevent waterlogging.

Declared growing-medium values

Organic matter, pH, salt content and available nutrients.

Both original bag sizes declare these values. Nutrient figures refer to the time the manufacturer places the product on the market and may fluctuate naturally. After storage, check before use where necessary.

• Organic matter: 40%.
• pH (CaCl₂): 6.0.
• Salt content (KCl): 0.5 g/l.
• Nitrogen (N): 50 mg/l (CaCl₂).
• Phosphate (P₂O₅): 50 mg/l (CAL).
• Potassium oxide (K₂O): 60 mg/l (CAL).

Contents by option

• 5-litre set: one 5-litre bag of compost and one 250 ml bottle of fertiliser.
• 10-litre set: one 10-litre bag of compost and one 250 ml bottle of fertiliser.

Plant and container are not included.

Dry · dark · above 8 °C to a maximum of 38 °C

Store in a dry, dark place above 8 °C and at no more than 38 °C.

Compost

Avoid eye contact and minimise dust when pouring. Store away from food and animal feed and out of reach of children and pets.

Protect your skin from milky sap when handling Plumeria and Adenium and wear gloves. Clean your hands afterwards.

Dark and sheltered from the weather; seal opened bags.

Store sheltered from the weather and in the dark. Protect against drying out or becoming waterlogged and keep out of direct sunlight.

Seal opened bags tightly and use them promptly. After storage, check nutrient levels before use where necessary.
