How to use
Don’t forget to pot top! Adding Hydroleca as a pot topper will provide a decorative appearance, help to minimise over watering and discourage attraction of pests.
Watering
- Water once or even twice a day during summer, but less frequently in winter
- Always ensure that excess water can drain freely to avoid root damage.
Feeding
- Westland Bonsai Potting Mix will supply your plants with all the nutrients they need for the first 6–8 weeks
- During spring and early summer, feed your plant with Westland Bonsai Feed every two weeks
Tips for Better Results
- Keep plants out of draughts and away from intense heat. Spraying with water at room temperature twice a week and sponging the leaves occasionally to remove dust is also recommended
- Nip branches back when they begin to grow otherwise pruning cuts will show up in wood and will be noticeable.
General Advice
- Store in a dry, frost free place away from weed killers and other garden chemicals
- Reseal bag after use
- Not suitable for ericaceous (lime hating) plants
- Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust
- Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use
