How to use

- Keep the plant at its original level. Fill around the roots with fresh mix and gently firm.
- Keep the crown above the mix. Leave aerial roots uncovered.
- Water thoroughly and let excess water drain. Never leave the pot standing in water.
Handy tip: Repot when roots are actively growing or the old mix has broken down. Avoid oversized pots and keep water out of the crown.
