Debco Premium Potting Mix has been professionally formulated for the home gardener and provides for excellent growth of both indoor and outdoor plants, including ferns and fuchsias.

Based on a special blend used by professional nurserymen, Premium Potting Mix will sustain growth of heavy-feeding plants such as vegetables for three months, and up to nine months for certain indoor species.

It contains excellent nutritional and physical properties that will ensure your plants receive the best possible growing conditions in their containers.   Debco Premium contains SaturAid soil wetter to help water penetrate to the root zone, and Debcote fertiliser to supply essential nutrients.

When to use Debco Premium Potting Mix

Move container plants into larger containers of fresh Debco Premium Potting Mix at regular intervals. Plants can be re-potted most times of the year.

Whilst roots protruding from drainage holes are an indication that re-potting is necessary, the only sure way to discover the state of the roots is to remove the plant from its container and examine them carefully. If fresh root tips are showing all over the surface of the root ball, or forming a thick spiral at the base, then re-potting is necessary.

How to use Debco Premium Potting Mix

	Assemble your plants to be re-potted, along with fresh containers and Debco Premium Potting 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 Premium Potting 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 mixture 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.
