Ready to use straight from the bag.
Orchids need repotting when the plant has clearly outgrown the pot - this should be quite apparents to the eye. Another reason to repot is the inevitable breakdown of the old bark. As it degrades it will tend to hold more water and this will have a negative effect on growth. I
If there is any doubt about when to repot then a period of 12 -18 months is a good rule f thumb. Repotting is best carried out in the early part of the growing season but can also be carried out at the end of the flowering cycle. You will ned a sharp knife, a pair of scissors and rubber gloves.
INSTRUCTIONS
- sterilise the blade with a cigarette lighter before starting.
- Wash your hands before starting and between plants to avoid infection, or use rubber gloves and change to new ones between.
- Remove plant from pot, shake out old medium. Swish roots in bowl of tepid water if helps.
- Trim off dead or damaged roots with sterilised knife.
- You will need a larger pot, but should be a snug fit, and not overlarge.
- Place a handful of ORCHID FOCUS REPOTTING MIX in the new pot. Place plant over it. Spread roots out in pot. Add more medium until roots are covered. Leave crown of plant exposed.
- Water gently with tepid water to settle plant. Commence feeding with ORCHID FOCUS GROW as soon as plant is settled.
