Put your hand up if you’re guilty of neglecting your indoor plants? Well now is a great time to ease your conscience and get stuck into some serious repotting.
- If you want to keep your potted plants looking good you should really be changing or replacing your potting mix regularly – even a great quality mix needs to be replenished from time to time.
- Quality mixes will last for around 2 years versus a cheap mix which only really lasts 4-6 months before it starts to slump and compaction becomes a problem.
- When you take the plant out of the old pot, just give it a bit of clean up. Shake off the old potting mix, trim off any damaged roots and remove any unsightly or damaged leaves.
- Repotting is also a great excuse to update the look of your pots and get your plant into a newer, trendier container.
- If the plant needs more room to grow, upsize the pot too.
- Osmocote Professional Premium Potting Mix – will help you save on watering.
- It contains Coir - it’s made from coconut husks – really absorbent so it’s brilliant for helping water retention.
- It also contains water crystals – which are incredible at retaining moisture then releasing it to plants when they really need it and a professional grade wetting agent to help water penetration.
- Osmocote Professional Potting Mix holds up to 100 per cent more moisture than ordinary mixes.
- There’s also a Controlled release fertilizer in here to feed your plant for up to 6 months.
