Planting, done in no time!

Follow these tips to give your plants a good start.

Receipt and Storage

Once you have received your package, it's a good idea to open the box immediately.

Root tubers - You can leave the root tubers in their packaging for about a day if you place them in a cool spot, but it is best to plant them directly on the day of receipt. Do you want to plant the root tubers later? Then place them in a large container or bucket with loose soil. This way you can store the plants a bit longer.

P9 plants - Remove the pots from the plastic packaging blister and place them outside in a sheltered spot until you plant them. You can leave these plants in their pots for a while, as long as you make sure they get enough light and water.

Step 1: Preparation

Tuberous roots - Fill a bucket with water and let the tuberous roots soak in it for half an hour to an hour. Do not forget this step!

P9 plants - Remove the plant from the pot. Gently loosen the roots at the bottom by hand. It's okay if some roots break off during this process. Place the plants in a tub or bowl of water so that the roots can soak up water.

Step 2: planting

Always start by choosing the right spot for your plant, depending on its needs. You can find these on the packaging and on our website.

Dig a hole for your plant and add a layer of new topsoil. Place root tubers with the growth buds facing upwards. Make sure there is about 3-5 centimeters of soil above your plant. Plant P9 plants with the foliage above ground.

Step 3: Aftercare

Lightly press the soil and water generously from above.

Do you keep a plant diary for your garden? Don't forget to note the type and location.

Recycle packaging

We package the root tubers in a paper bag, which can be disposed of with general household waste. Plants grown in a P9 pot are shipped in a 100% recycled plastic blister to protect the plant during transport. This blister and the pot itself can be disposed of with plastic waste.

The cardboard box can be disposed of with old paper. However, you can also reuse these sturdy boxes as moving boxes, craft boxes, or for anything else you can imagine!
