Devotion Premium Potting Mix For Pots & Planters
The Devotion range of potting and planting mixes contain starter fertilisers and trace elements. There are no controlled release fertilisers contained within them, which means that they are suitable for planting all types of plants into, including phosphorus sensitive plants such as grevilleas, proteas and natives. The even greater advantage is that controlled release fertilisers can be added to your potting mix as needed for each individual plant. Pellets of slow release fertiliser that are pre-mixed into most commercial potting mixes have partially or totally discharged by the time you take them home and use them. Devotion Premium potting mix for pots and planters is a blend of high quality composted pine bark, New Zealand sphagnum peat, washed propagation sand, micronutrients and starter fertilisers. These are the best potting mix ingredients; your plants will thrive in this mix! Each bag of Devotion Premium Potting Mix comes with a sachet of high quality Devotion Time Release Fertiliser so that each plant you pot can be given just the right amount of fertiliser. Devotion Premium potting mix for pots and planters in a 30L bag is $12.90, and comes with a free 120g sachet of Devotion Time Release Fertiliser. |

How to Pot Your Plants: |
For Pots & Planters |
Free 120g sachet of Devotion Time Release Fertiliser |
|
| 1. Before removing your plant from its pot, water the root ball soaking it thoroughly with water. For maximum benefit before potting, soak your plants in Devotion Liquid Leaf & Stem Food to reduce transplant shock and give your newly potted plants a boost. Any left over solution can be used to water your plants in once potted. |  |
2. Incorporate Devotion Time Release Fertiliser to your potting mix at the recommended rate. Mixing should be completed in a large dry container. Fill the bottom of the new pot with the potting mix and fertiliser, and fill so that when you plant your plant into the pot the plant will sit on the potting mix and be 2.5cm (1") or so below the top of the pot. |  |
| 3. Slide the plant out of the pot gently supporting the root ball with both hands. DON'T TEASE OR TICKLE THE PLANT ROOTS. Rapid plant death can occur when a plants roots are teased or tickled particularly during the warm summer months. Teasing plants roots disrupts the plants ability to draw up adequate moisture and plant death can occur within three days after potting. Please recycle any unwanted pots at Chris & Marie's Plant Farms. |  |
4. Centre your plant in its new pot and pour more of the potting mix and fertiliser mixture around the plant, holding the plant to steady it. Gently firm the soil around the plant, then water your plant in well. It is best to water your plant with Devotion Liquid Leaf & Stem Food. Thoroughly drench the leaves, stems and root ball. This can be completed in the morning or late evening when evaporation rates are low. |  |
