How to use

Potting or Repotting

Use a big container. Bigger is better. A larger pot or container holds moisture longer and also provides more space for the plants’ roots. The healthier the root system, the healthier your plants will be. The container must have drainage holes in the bottom to allow excess water to drain.

  1. Ensure the plant is thoroughly moist before potting.
  2. Trim any damaged or tangled roots, loosen up the root ball and clean off the top 1cm of old mix to eliminate any weeds.
  3. Partially fill a clean, free draining container with Daltons Premium Outdoor Container Mix.
  4. Place plant in the container and adjust mix under the plant until it is at the desired height.
  5. Fill the rest of the container to approximately 2cm from the top, gently tapping to ensure the mix distributes throughout the roots.  
  6. Water thoroughly at regular intervals, taking care not to let your container dry out completely.
  7. Make sure you have read the plant label and position your plant according to whether it requires shade or full sun.
Garden Planting
  1. Dig hole at least 4 times the plant’s pot volume and half fill with Daltons Premium Outdoor Container Mix. 
  2. Once the hole is ready for planting, unpot the plant and soak thoroughly. 
  3. If the plant needs a stake for support, this is best positioned before backfilling to prevent root injury. 
  4. Position the plant and gently backfill the hole with Daltons Premium Outdoor Container Mix. Firm in the soil to the same depth as the mix or slightly above.  
  5. Water thoroughly. 

If sufficient Daltons Premium Outdoor Container Mix has been used at time of planting there will be enough nutrients supplied to establish your plant and grow through the first season. 

Feeding Container Plants

The ideal nutrient supply for container growing comes from controlled release coated fertilisers which release nutrients in response to mix temperatures and moisture content. Daltons Premium Outdoor Container Mix contains these fertilisers to feed your plants for up to 10 months. For extra feeding after that period use a quality controlled release fertiliser such as Daltons Premium Goldcote. Refer to packaging for instructions.
