How to use
Cacti and succulents
Potting
- Fill ⅓ of the pot with drainage material such as grit or washed gravel.
- Cover with a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Cactus & Bonsai Compost.
- Insert the plant into the new container, infilling around the root ball with more compost.
- Fill the pot to 10mm (½ inch) below the rim. Ensure the plant is at the same level of compost as it was in the previous container.
- Top dress with gravel grit. Allow to settle for 2-3 days, then water with tepid rainwater.
Re-potting
- Select a container one size larger than the previous one, then follow potting instructions above.
- Discard any surface dressing from the plant before inserting into new container.
Bonsai
Potting
- Select a bonsai specific pot with good drainage holes. The existing pot may be re-used after cleaning.
- Position anchor wires through the drainage holes, cover the drainage holes with mesh and a layer of grit. Water plant thoroughly and remove from the existing pot.
- Add a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Cactus & Bonsai Compost, plant the tree and add compost to the correct height.
- Firm lightly and water thoroughly. Keep in a shaded spot for a few weeks to allow roots to form.
Re-potting
- Bonsai should be re-potted in late winter (just before bud burst) every year for the first few years.
- Water the plant thoroughly and remove from the exsisting container. If the container remains correct in scale to the tree shape and size, then re-use after thoroughly cleaning.
- Comb out the roots away from the trunk, avoiding any roots that may be displayed on the soil surface. Cut back any long roots.
- Follow steps 3 - 4 for potting ensuring gaps between the roots are filled.
- Water the tree thoroughly.
