Composition & nutrition

Ready-to-use compost for tea plants (Camellia sinensis). 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.
-
Prepare the tea plant and container
Identify Camellia sinensis and choose a container with drainage. Repot when needed while protecting the fine roots.
-
Prepare the planting space
Prepare a suitable container with clear drainage holes and additional room around the root ball. For soil-independent pot culture only.
-
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
Grow tea plants in a bright sheltered position, avoid unaccustomed strong midday sun and use low-lime water where possible. Water the root ball responsively and evenly. Choose winter conditions by cultivar, age and site.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
