The top of the range, premium quality potting mix for all types of plants and growing conditions. Premium Plus will help you save water while growing healthy happy plants. It includes Scotts Osmocote® that feeds for 6 months as well as water crystals to hold moisture
FEATURES
- Growth stimulants encourage strong root development leading to healthier, more vigorous plants
- Includes ScottsCoir, a renewable resource that replaces traditional peat in potting mixes
- Non-toxic water crystals that hold up to 100 times their own weight of water
- Wetting agent assists moisture to soak into the mix and helps plant roots absorb nutrients
- Certified to meet the Australian Standard for Premium potting mixes
SUITABLE FOR
- Indoor and outdoor plants, shrubs, flowers, palms, fruit trees, vegetables and herbs
- Can be used in pots that will be submerged in ponds but make sure the mix is covered with a 2-3cm layer of coarse washed sand or pebbles to prevent it floating out of the pot and contaminating water
- Safe to use on new plants - the controlled release of nutrients means it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots
NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Don't use in hydroponic growing systems
- Don't use on lawns - use only specifically named lawn topdress soils on grassed areas
HOW TO USE
- Use Premium Plus Mix straight from the bag - don't mix it with other materials. Close the bag tightly after use
- Choose a clean container with large drainage holes and partly fill it the fresh mix out of the bag
- Carefully lift the plant to be potted up from its existing pot. Gently loosen the root ball without disturbing roots too much and remove any damaged, dried out or twisted roots
- Place the plant in the centre of the pot (if potting up individually) or position it where you want it grow in a larger container that will eventually hold several plants
- Fill in with Premium Plus to within 2-3cm of the top rim of the pot and press lightly
- Tap the new pot or container gently on the bench to help the new mix settle in and around the roots - do not pack it down
- Water the pot thoroughly (until water runs from the drainage holes) then allow it to drain freely. If necessary top the mix up again to the suggested level.
- Place the pot or container in the shade for a few days to allow the plant to settle and acclimatise before moving back to its permanent home
