Tips & Tricks for Success
-
Use a nice big pot – if it's too small, it'll dry out extra fast and will need to be watered a lot.
-
Don't fill your pots with soil from the garden, because it soaks up too much water and stays wet all the time. If you use a good-quality potting mix, like Yates Premium Potting Mix, the water will drain away much better.
-
Use a watering can with a 'rose' to water gently. Don't blast your plant out of the pot with the garden hose!
-
Don’t let the base of the pot sit in water. If you do, lots of extra water will suck up into the pot. Plants don't like having a wet bottom!
-
Remember to fertilise your pots. This keeps the potting mix topped up with nutrients (plant food). Every week during the growing season, add some Yates Thrive Fish Blood & Bone Plant Food or Yates Thrive All Purpose Liquid Plant Food into the watering can, while you are watering.
-
Put on some gloves before you touch potting mix, and wash your hands afterwards.
