How to Use
Potting and Re-potting
Water plant well and allow to drain
Choose a pot around 3-5cm larger than the old one with drainage holes
Place a layer of potting mix in the bottom of the new pot and carefully remove the plant from its pot
Holding it upright and in the middle of the pot,carefully fill with potting mix around the sides until the pot is full
Tap the pot to settle the mix and water well
Feeding
Westland Houseplant Potting Mix contains sufficient nutrients to feed plants for approx. 6 weeks
After this period, feeding should commence with Westland Houseplant Feed.
Feed every second watering in the active growing season (spring/summer) and every fourth watering in the winter
Watering
Under or over watering houseplants are one of the main causes of the plants failing
Do not allow the plant to sit in water or sodden compost as this will stunt root growth and prevent air movement around the roots
It can also make the plant more susceptible to pests and diseases
Overwatering can cause leaf yellowing and loss, and a shortened flowering period.
Equally do not allow the compost to dry out completely as this can also cause damage to the plant
Regularly checking the compost to see if it is still moist in the summer months (less frequently in the cooler months) is the best way to ensure proper watering
Knowing when to water your houseplants can be difficult. Westland Watering Indicator sticks are a useful way of knowing when the compost in your plant pot has dried out. The easy to use sticks change colour from blue to red when the plant needs re-watering
