1. In the case of indoor or outdoor plants in pots or planters: the compost is incorporated into the soil in the pots, so that the mixture becomes a fluffy, aerated material, in which the roots of the plant can breathe. Water as needed.

2. In the case of seeds, seedlings or young plants: prepare a mixture of 2 parts soil and one part compost and spread it in pots or alveolar trays. Water as needed.

3. In case of use in the garden: the compost is incorporated superficially with the existing soil in the garden. Planting continues normally. If necessary, add another layer of substrate. Fertilization is not necessary for a period of 6 months. After planting, water as usual after 7 days.

Place the plant in the new pot, cover the roots with the substrate and press gently and evenly around the plant. Water the plant slowly and moderately. After planting: water as usual after 7 days. If necessary, add a layer of substrate. Fertilization is not necessary for a period of 6 months. Storage conditions: keep the bag in a dry place in the original packaging.

How to use the substrate for Phalaenopsis orchids?

Choose a special pot for orchids, taking into account the size of the plant to be transplanted. Clean the orchid of all dead elements (leaves, roots). The root of the plant will be washed off the old substrate with warm water. A layer of the product will be placed in the new pot so as to maintain the previous planting height. Place the plant and cover with substrate, pressing lightly and evenly around it. During the first 7 days, the plant is not watered, allowing the substrate to settle naturally in the pot and the roots to adapt to the new environment. After 7 days, watering resumes normally.
