Debco Camellia & Azalea Mix

Acid-loving plants such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Blueberries and Camellias thrive in the low-pH environment of Debco Camellia & Azalea premium potting mix.

When to use Camellia & Azalea Mix

Debco Camellia & Azalea Mix will sustain growth of heavy feeding plants for one month, and up to three months with certain plants. When required, use a reliable fertiliser in either slow release (such as Debco seaorganic) or liquid form (Such as Debco WaterSoluble or Phostrogen Acid Plant Food & Tonic).

How to use Debco Camellia & Azalea Mix

Assemble your plants to be repotted, along with fresh containers and Debco Camellia & Azalea 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 Camellia & Azalea 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 new 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.

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.
