Trees, Shrubs, and Roses
- Select a container 2-3 times the diameter of the plant’s root mass and 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm) deeper.
- Place enough potting soil into the container so that the root mass is positioned at the correct height.
- Secure plant in place while adding more potting soil around the root mass until the container is almost full.
- Press firmly around perimeter of the plant and water thoroughly. Do not pack tightly.

FoxFarm Soil Feeding Schedule
Use your preferred FoxFarm potting soil when transplanting seedlings into larger containers. We recommend a two gallon size or larger.
For best results: Feed up to two times per week. Maintain a pH of 5.6 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lockout and reduce stress on plants. Never mix pure concentrates together; always add water first. Should plants show signs of stress or color irregularities, flush your soil. When using coco-based media, flush every two weeks during the flowering cycles as coco has a tendency to retain unwanted salt residue more than peat-based soils.

Great soil for growing a variety of different plants. I’m currently growing Stargazers, Anastasia Orienpet Lilies, Dahlias, Red Bee Balm ( Bergamot), and this year I planted a variety of different types of Tulips. Some are called Parrot Tulips. Well draining soil. My plants doubled in size the second season that I grew them. My stargazers got to be over 6 feet tall last summer.

Drains well and serves as a solid root anchor without binding. Better that bigger name brand products. Almost like fine mushroom soil enhancement products or real worm dirt. Indoor air cleansing plants and herbs are thriving in this, based on past use and present purchase.
