  3. Position the plant in the pot and fill with potting mix. Do not pack down.
  4. Water thoroughly and protect plant from wind, heat and strong sunlight for around 5 days.

ONGOING PLANT CARE

  • Osmocote® Indoor Plants Premium Potting Mix contains a balanced fertiliser but additional fertiliser may be required in time, depending on plant needs.
  • Plants should be watered immediately after potting and frequently enough to ensure the mix remains moist but not wet. Avoid allowing plants to dry out.
  • Plants should be re-potted with new potting mix when they outgrow the pot or after 12-18 months.

WHEN TO USE

  • Indoor plant potting mix can be used at any time of the year.
  • Repotting established pot plants is best done either in Spring or Autumn - avoid Winter or Summer as the extremes of temperature may stress plants
  • Flowering plants should be repotted after they have flowered- enjoy the blooms first!
