Fill the pot very loosely with Flower Green Cocopeat and plant with minimum firming. Water well. Potting soil may be mixed with planting medium at 1:2 ratio and used as a soil conditioner.
Re-potting should be done only during Spring, Summer, and fall. House plants should be re-potted in Spring. During Winter, do not disturb any plants. Regularly Water and let drain. To remove the plant, tap or squeeze the pot, turn it upside down carefully, supporting the plant in one hand. Sharply tap the pot to release the plant, but do not disturb the root ball. Place a layer of Flower Green Cocopeat in the new pot and place the plant in it. Fill the remainder of the pot with Cocopeat whilst firmly packing it around the roots ensuring to water well.
For every type of soil, environmentally friendly Flower Green Cocopeat is ideal as a soil conditioner. Since it is fibrous it will help break up clay soils, giving friability and drainage. In sandy soils, it will bond together to retain moisture, and vital nutrients.
Fill seed tray with Flower Green Cocopeat, level off, pack lightly, water well and allow to drain. Sow seeds as required. Water sparingly, cover with black plastic, or glass to retain moisture and keep out of light. Maintain correct temperature of 18 – 21C (64 – 70F). Once seeds germinate, remove the cover, and place the tray away from direct sunlight. When seedlings are large enough to handle, gently fork them out.
When preparing a new lawn, mix 5 – 7cm (2-3”) of Flower Green Cocopeat together with a pre-seeding fertilizer. Incorporate into the top 15 – 20cm (6 – 8”) of soil, ensuring the area is adequately watered. Adding Cocopeat into your new lawn will help retain adequate moisture in dry conditions and ensure good drainage, providing essential oxygen to the roots.
Ensure that the surface is free of weeds. Spread 5 – 7cm (2 – 3”) of Flower Green Cocopeat which will inhibit the growth of weeds and retain moisture in the soil. It will also protect the roots from frost during the Winter and scorching conditions during the Summer. During the Winter, perennials can be protected from severe weather by a mulch of 2.5 – 5cm (1 – 2”). Work this into the surrounding soil in the Spring.
Coir holds more water than peat-based mediums. Adjust watering by checking the pot's weight. Even if the top appears dry, the substrate may still be moist below.
Fertilize at the first watering. Increased fertilizer rates may be necessary due to less frequent watering and excellent root growth with coco peat.
