How To Use
How To Use
Instructions:
- Put dry slice into water
- Soak for 3 hours or until fully wetted
- Remove fully wetted slice and use
If using in an average sized pot:
Put wetted slices under pot plant (ensure that the pots base holes are in contact with the slice). Wetted slices can also be put into or under your plants compost giving similar results.
- 1 Slice = 1 weeks watering
- 2 Slices = 2 weeks watering
- 3 Slices = 3 weeks watering
Period between watering is longer if the water is initially 1cm above slices.
If using in hanging baskets:
Slices can be used in baskets with any type of plastic liner. The use of a plastic liner and layered slices will increase the interval between watering. If lining with moss the water in the slice will not drain out and be wasted. Use slices inside flower towers, pouches, bags and troughs. Two slices are ideal in towers & pouches.
Wetted pouches can be used in all types of hanging baskets, flower pouches, flower towers, wall mounted troughs ect. They can be reused, to replenish you slice just water normally.
