How to use Debco Organic Mix
 |
Assemble your plants to be potted,
along with your chosen pots or containers and Debco Organic Mix. |
 |
Give each plant a thorough watering
an hour or so in advance, and allow to drain. |
 |
Select a clean container approximately
25 mm wider than the original and partly fill with Debco Organic Mix, straight from the bag. |
 |
Turn the plant out of its old
container. Loosen root ball gently and remove any rotten or
entirely dried out roots. |
 |
Position the plant in the centre
of the new container. Check the level and fill with Debco Organic Mix. |
 |
Shake the container gently by
tapping the bottom on the ground to allow mix to settle.
Do not firm or pack down. Normal watering will soon give all
the firming needed. |
 |
Initial soaking after potting
is essential. |
 |
Protect plant from heat and
strong sunlight for a few days, and keep moist. Fertilise as required with an organic fertiliser. |
Hints
To save time, re-pot as many plants as possible
at the one time. Make sure that you close the bag tightly after
use to keep moist. Store in a cool, dry location. Fertilise with a certified organic fertiliser. |
