How To Use Tips
• When transplanting to a new container, don't get one that's too big. A good rule of thumb is a container 1-1/2 to 2 times larger than the original pot, and about 6 inches deeper or taller than the original. A plant can "get lost" in an overly large pot and devote its growth exclusively to root expansion while its top just sits there and looks at you! When re-potting, be sure your plant and the potting soil are equally moistened. This will prevent dry spots, uneven watering and plant stress. When you remove a plant from its original container, examine its roots. If they are girdled (wrapped in a tight circular pattern), lightly loosen the root ball before re-planting, or use a razor blade to lightly cut (don't slash deeply into the root ball) the roots on all 4 sides (North-South-East-West). Water and nutrients will then be available to all parts of the plant and its roots will spread into the new potting mix.
For better water retention in hanging baskets, use a moisture control potting soil.
