Repotting Tips

We recommend to place about 1 to 2 centimetres of potting mix into the bottom of the pot, and firm down gently, not too compressed. We believe this improves the absorption and distribution of water. It acts like a sponge/reservoir from which the potting mix will draw water.

 

Place the plant above this layer and lightly place the potting mix around the plants. Pouring water through the potting mix to settle the mix around the roots. You may need to add extra potting mix after your first watering because the water will cause the potting mix to settle.

 

Compacting the potting mix with your fingers may snap some of the delicate roots. This may contribute to increasing the effects of transplant shock.
