HOW TO USE
1. Water plants thoroughly before repotting.
2. Select a well drained pot, a little larger than the current pot.
3. Partly fill with a layer of Yates Thrive Cacti & Succulent Potting Mix.
4. Remove the plant from the old pot, hold the base of the plant firmly (wrap a folded newspaper around the plant to protect your hands from spiny cacti), and tap the pot gently against the edge of a table to loosen the root ball.
5. Gently brush the mix from around the roots. Remove damaged or dead roots.
6. Position the plant in the pot, leaving a 1-2 cm space below the rim for watering.
7. Holding the plant in position, pour mix down and around the roots. Gently tap the bottom of the pot to settle the contents and add more mix if necessary.
8. Lightly firm with fingers and water in well.
Growing Care
Position: Ensure good ventilation during summer, turn plants to ensure even growth. Most enjoy medium to bright light.
Watering: Do not overwater or apply water directly to foliage. Keep the mix moist during active growing periods. Water infrequently through winter. Preferably, water cacti and succulents from the bottom. Place in a saucer of water for 20 minutes and discard any surplus water.
Feeding: After 3-4 months from re-potting, feed fortnightly with Yates Thrive Indoor Liquid Plant Food or Yates Thrive Cacti & Succulent Plant Food Spikes.
