How to Use:

Potting and Re-potting:

• Water plant well and allow to drain
  
• Choose a pot around 3-5cm larger than the old one with drainage holes
  
• Place a layer of potting mix in the bottom of the new pot and carefully remove the plant from its pot
  
• Holding it upright and in the middle of the pot, carefully fill with potting mix around the sides until the pot is full
  
• Tap the pot to settle the mix and water well

Feeding:

• Westland Houseplant Potting Mix contains sufficient nutrients to feed plants for approx. 6 weeks
  
• After this period, feeding should commence with Westland Houseplant Feed.
  
• Feed every second watering in the active growing season (spring/summer) and every fourth watering in the winter

Watering:

• Under or over watering houseplants are one of the main causes of the plants failing
  
• Do not allow the plant to sit in water or sodden compost as this will stunt root growth and prevent air movement around the roots
  
• It can also make the plant more susceptible to pests and diseases
  
• Overwatering can cause leaf yellowing and loss, and a shortened flowering period.
  
• Equally do not allow the compost to dry out completely as this can also cause damage to the plant
  
• Regularly checking the compost to see if it is still moist in the summer months (less frequently in the cooler months) is the best way to ensure proper watering
  
• Knowing when to water your houseplants can be difficult. Westland Watering Indicator sticks are a useful way of knowing when the compost in your plant pot has dried out. The easy to use sticks change colour from blue to red when the plant needs re-watering

Tips for Better Results:

• Place plants in bright positions but avoid direct sunlight if possible
  
• Avoid large fluctuations in room temperatures as this may cause leaf drop
  
• Treat houseplants to a leaf shine to remove dust

General Advice:

• Not suitable for Ericaceous (lime hating) plants
  
• Store in a dry, frost-free place away from weed killers and other garden chemicals
  
• Reseal bag after use
  
• Use in a well-ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust
  
• Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use
