25L Dobbies Peat Free No 2 Potting-on Compost +JI

This peat free John Innes No.2 compost is ideal for potting-on most plants. It has been specially developed, with all the vital minerals for maintaining plant growth & health.

With its new mix of loam & grit, it provides the perfect structure for your plant’s roots. Please note this compost is not suitable for ericaceous plants. We recommend using Dobbies ericaceous compost with peat free John Innes for all acid loving plants like Azaleas, Camellias, Rhododendrons or Heathers.

Health & Safety Advice:
- Always use this compost in a well-ventilated area, ensuring to avoid breathing in dust.
- Keep away from children and pets
- Wear gloves while gardening and wash your hands thoroughly after use.

How to use:
- Put on a pair of gloves & crumble compost between your hands to break down any lumps so that it regains its open texture.

Potting-on plants:
- Re-potting is best done in the spring or summer, when plants are actively growing
- Before re-potting, water plants well & allow to drain away
- Put fresh compost in the bottom of a new pot
- Turn the plant upside down & tap the pot sharply to release
- Place the plant in the middle of the new pot & add more compost, firming lightly around the root ball.
- Leave a space of at least 1cm below the pot rim to allow adequate space for watering
- Water the plant well

Growing on:
- After 6 weeks feed with plant food
- Hardy plants can then be re-potted into Dobbies mature plant compost (peat free John Innes no.3) when large enough

Handy gardening tips:
- Store in a dry, frost-free place away from any garden chemicals
