Features & Benefits:

- Rich Blend of Materials: Includes Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, and nutrient-rich, natural humus materials.
- Low Phosphorus Content: Specially tailored for native plants, which often require lower phosphorus levels.

- Ideal for Container Growing: Suitable for long-term container growing of native plants.
Directions for Use:
- Choose the Right Time: Spring, Summer, and early Autumn are ideal for repotting, but avoid doing so during very hot weather.
- Examine the Plant: If roots are visible through the drainage holes or root tips form a thick spiral at the base, it's time to repot.
- Select a Pot: Choose a larger container that will accommodate the growing plant.
- Prepare the Pot: Place a layer of Native Potting Mix in the bottom of the new pot.
- Transplant the Plant: Carefully remove the plant from its current container and place it in the new pot, centreing it and spreading out the roots.
- Fill with Mix: Add more Native Potting Mix around the sides, gently firming it down, but not compressing it too tightly.
- Water Thoroughly: Water the plant well after repotting to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets.
- Provide Ongoing Care: Continue to water and care for the plant as usual, following specific care instructions for that species.
Considerations:
- When repotting native plants, handle the roots gently, as they can be more sensitive to disturbance.
- Always follow specific care instructions for the particular native species you are growing, as they can vary widely in their needs.
