FAQs

How much water do I need to add to expand the brick?

Refer to the packaging for specific instructions on the water to compost ratio. Generally, the brick will expand significantly when water is added.

Can I use this compost for outdoor plants?

This compost is formulated for indoor houseplants. For outdoor plants, you may need a different type of compost designed for those specific needs.

How often should I water my plants after repotting?

Water your plants when the top inch of the soil feels dry. The frequency of watering will depend on the plant type and environmental conditions.

What should I do if my plant's leaves start to turn yellow?

Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Assess your watering habits, and consider supplemental feeding if necessary.

Is this compost safe for pets?

Yes, this compost is made from natural materials and is generally safe for pets. However, it's best to keep your pets from eating the compost.

Add more water and mix thoroughly until the compost is evenly moist.
