Expert Usage Guidelines for Optimal Results
For Seedling Transplanting:
Loosely fill containers with compost and level the surface. Carefully lift seedlings by their seed leaves, preserving root systems and surrounding compost. Create planting holes and gently firm around roots before watering with a fine rose attachment.
For Root Cutting Establishment:
Add a foundation layer to new containers, position rooted cuttings carefully, and backfill with fresh compost. Gentle watering and placement in warm, protected conditions optimize establishment success.
Safety and Storage Recommendations
Professional handling ensures both safety and product longevity. Always wear protective gloves during use and ensure adequate ventilation to minimize dust exposure. Store bags in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight, and reseal carefully after each use to maintain compost quality.
