Instructions for use:Preparation Repotting/plantingCarefully pot out the plant, loosen the root ball slightly, remove excess soil, remove dead root parts. Fill the planter with SERAMIS® balcony potting soil in such a way that the root ball can still be completely covered with soil and an additional watering rim of about 1 cm remains. Cover the drainage hole in the container with gravel or pottery shards before potting. For drainage and to increase the water reservoir, a 2 to 6 cm high layer of SERAMIS® plant granules can also be added to the drainage hole, depending on the size of the container. Place the plants in the container provided and fill up with SERAMIS® Balcony Potting Soil until the soil balls are completely covered with soil. Press the root ball lightly and then water until the soil is well moistened. In the following period, it is important to ensure that the soil is kept constantly moist. The SERAMIS® watering indicator can be used to reliably determine the ideal casting time. Depending on the plant, the ideal time for repotting is spring, autumn or immediately after flowering. To further increase the water reservoir and nutrient supply, the pre-fertilised SERAMIS® outdoor plant granules are suitable, which can also be worked into the balcony potting soil.
