TIPS FOR USING BIO LEAF AROID & HOYA POTTING MIX
I have below outlined a few tips on how to use our Bio Leaf Premium Aroid & Hoya Potting Mix.
The mix continues to amaze us because just about everything we plant in it grows.
THE BIO LEAF DIFFERENCE
Bio Leaf Premium Aroid & Hoya mix is not a bunch of ingredients randomly mixed. Our potting mix is manufactured using our own propriety recipe that has 3 distinct stages. Each stage is designed to enhance or optimise the potting mix's properties.
Bio Leaf Premium Aroid & Hoya mix is custom-crafted to help your plants grow better.
We use science and data to ensure that our mix meets our standards. Samples are submitted regularly to laboratories for analysis, plus we do our own in-house testing to ensure that our mix meets our production standards.
Bio Leaf Premium Aroid & Hoya Potting Mix is custom-crafted, and some of the benefits reported by users include:
- Hardly any or no transplant shock.
- Fantastic root growth.
- Better foliage growth, colour and sometimes variegation patterns improve. Some plants even get a growth spurt.
- More growth points.
- Plants that have not grown well before, start growing well again.
FIRST THINGS
PREPARE A TRANSPLANT SOLUTION
Before repotting, prepare a Transplant Solution. The nutrients in this solution will help your plant recover from transplant shock.
- Pour 5 litres of water into a container.
- Add 4 ml Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt and stir. (Dilution = 1:1250).
- Add 4 ml Dyna-Gro KLN Rooting Solution and stir. (Dilution = 1:1250).
- Add 6.6 ml Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro or Dyna-Gro GROW and stir. (Dilution = 1:750).
- Grosafe BioPower Seaweed Flakes. This is a dry flake and needs to be dissolved in water before adding to the Transplant Mix.
- Ocean Organics Soil Concentrate.
PREPARING YOUR PLANT FOR REPOTTING
- Before repotting your plant, soak it in the Transplant Solution. Use enough solution to cover the top of the potting soil. This will help prepare the plant to lessen the effect of transplant shock (Repotting Trauma).
- Try and soak the plant for at least 15 - 60 minutes. The longer, the better.
- This also helps loosen the old potting mix and soften the roots, thus minimising root damage when you remove the potting mix.

HELP, I'VE GOT INSECTS IN MY POTTING SOIL
- Groventive is a systemic insecticide that is translocated to all plant cells. If any insects bite, suck or chew on the plant, they will ingest the active ingredient. Groventive has limited activity on adult insects, and its mode of action is that it prevents juvenile insects from growing into adults.
- Enspray99 kills any adult insects.
- EcoSpread Super Spreader helps spread the mixture on all surfaces and assists the products in working better.
