How to use

Pots and patios planters

It's time to repot when:

  • The plant is overgrown and root bound (roots are densely wrapped).
  • Roots are growing out of the drainage holes.
  • The plant’s lower leaves turn yellow or drop off.
  • Compost is faded or crusty.
How to repot
  1. Wash the containers and water the plant.
  2. Place a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Ericaceous Compost in the base of the pot.
  3. Tap out the plant from the old pot, loosen the root ball and place in the centre of the pot.
  4. Fill the space around the root ball, ensuring the compost level covers all the roots.
  5. Firm lightly water thoroughly and let drain.

Planting in beds and borders

  1. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.
  2. Position the plant and fill with 50% soil and 50% of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Ericaceous Compost and firm around the base.
