How To Use
- Choose Your Pot: Pick a container that has a drainage hole. This is super important to keep your plant's roots from getting waterlogged.
- Fill it Up: Fill your pot about 1/3 full with the potting mix.
- Plant Your Favorite: Gently loosen the root ball of your plant and place it in the pot.
- Add More Soil: Add more potting mix around your plant, leaving about an inch of space from the rim of the pot.
- Water and Enjoy: Give your plant a good watering and let it drain. Now you can move it to its new home and watch it grow!
Watering Tips
The best way to know if your plant is thirsty is to stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. Be sure not to let your plant sit in a saucer full of drainage water.
Product Tips
- Time to Repot: To keep your long-term container plants happy, we recommend repotting them with fresh potting mix every year or two. This gives them fresh nutrients and helps prevent the soil from getting compacted.
- Keep Them Fed: After about two months, your plants will be ready for a meal. Start a regular feeding routine with a Miracle-Gro Organic Plant Food to keep them growing strong.
Product Safety
Clean Hands, Happy Gardener: We always suggest wearing gardening gloves when you're digging in, and it's a good practice to wash your hands when you're done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store leftover product?
Just close up the bag and keep it in a dry spot, like your garage or garden shed.
Why do I need a special potting mix for my containers?
Plants in pots have different needs than plants in the ground. Potting mixes are specially blended to be lighter and to hold and release water properly in a container, which helps prevent the soil from becoming too compacted or waterlogged.
What does "OMRI Listed" mean?
OMRI stands for the Organic Materials Review Institute. When you see their seal, it means it has been reviewed for use in organic gardening, so you can be sure you're using a great product for your organic container garden.
Can I use this in my pots and containers?
A few signs to look for are roots growing out of the drainage hole, water running straight through the pot without being absorbed, or the plant just looking like it's too big for its home.
