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
Room for foliage and fruit
Allow sufficient space for courgettes and water at the root zone according to need. Consistent root-zone care supports cultivation.
-
Plan generous growing space
Allow enough bed or greenhouse space for the cultivar. For container growing, choose a large, stable pot with drainage holes.
-
Prepare young plants
Choose well-rooted plants and gradually acclimatise them before moving outdoors. Keep tender plants protected while frost remains possible.
-
Check drainage
Keep drainage holes clear. Loosen heavily compacted garden soil before planting.
-
Loosen the mix
Loosen the ready-to-use compost and fill the prepared growing space. Do not add extra starter fertiliser.
-
Handle the root ball gently
Disturb sensitive roots as little as possible. Set rooted young plants at their previous planting level.
-
Fill around the roots
Fill the sides and firm lightly. Leave watering space and room for later foliage and shoot development.
-
Water thoroughly
Water slowly at the root zone. Let excess drain from containers and avoid standing water.
-
Continue care and harvesting
Check moisture regularly and feed responsively during active development. Harvest according to the crop without tearing shoots.
Ongoing plant care
Grow in sun and warmth with sufficient spacing, and water responsively and evenly at the root zone. Picking young courgettes regularly makes room for new fruits.
