Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for thuja and false cypress. 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
Plant gently
Retain the planting level and fill around the root ball. Suitable containers allow excess water to drain.
-
Plan the hedge line or container position
Set planting distances and clearance from paths according to species and cultivar. Provide sufficient stability in containers.
-
Prepare the planting space
Loosen garden soil; choose containers with clear drainage holes. Allow suitable additional root space around the ball.
-
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
Plan subsequent feeding according to plant needs and active growth, accounting for the nutrients already present. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Choose spacing and eventual growing room by species and cultivar. Water young hedges responsively and evenly; match pruning to the particular conifer. Check evergreen containers for dryness on frost-free winter days.
Frequently asked questions

What matters in continued care?
Choose spacing and eventual growing room by species and cultivar. Water young hedges responsively and evenly; match pruning to the particular conifer. Check evergreen containers for dryness on frost-free winter days.
