• HOW TO APPLY Espoma Organic All-Purpose Potting Mix 8 qt.

  • Choose a container that is larger than your plant's present container and has a drainage hole at the bottom, as well as a tray beneath it to capture any extra water.

  • Add a layer of tiny stones on the bottom of the container to prevent soil from escaping.

  • Fill one-third of the way with Espoma organic potting soil mix.

  • Mix in the required amount of Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus with the potting mix well.

  • Remove the plant from its present container with care and loosen the root ball carefully.

  • Fill the new container with more potting mix and center the plant in it.

  • Allow at least 1 inch between the pot's rim and the soil's surface.

  • Gently pat the mixture down and add more if necessary. Make sure the plant is planted at the same depth as it was in the original container.

  • Allow to drain after watering the plant thoroughly with a slow, moderate spray.

  Growing Instructions:

  Allow the soil to dry to the touch between waterings to avoid overwatering. Catch water as it drains from the bottom using a tray or saucer. Allowing plants to stand in water is not a good idea. Plants in outdoor containers may need to be watered on a regular basis (once per day in hot, dry conditions).

  Light: Some plants love to be in direct sunlight, while others prefer to be in shadow. To find the best exposure, look at the plant tag or ask at your local garden shop.

  Frequent watering may quickly remove nutrients from the root zone, therefore feeding is important. Starting two weeks after planting, feed plants with Espoma Organic Plant Food at least once a month during the growth season.
