How to plant correctly in your pots.
To keep your pot for years and enjoy it in perfect condition, just follow a few simple rules.
Direct planting
1.Line the inside of the pot with garden membrane or liquid membrane.
2.Pour a layer of expanded clay aggregate into the bottom of the pot.
3.Then plant your plant and cover it with soil.
Indirect planting – using an insert
1.Pour expanded clay aggregate into the bottom of the pot.
2.Then place the plant, still in its insert, inside.
3.To hide the insert, cover it with expanded clay aggregate (recommended) or soil.
Using membrane
Line the inside of the pot thoroughly with garden membrane. Tuck any excess material under the rim so it stays hidden, or trim it off.
Using liquid membrane
You can also protect the inside of the pot with what's known as liquid membrane. This is a substance designed to create a waterproof barrier. Apply it with a brush. It's best to build the barrier up in two coats. Once the first has dried, apply the second at right angles to it.
Moving the pot
When moving a planted pot, never lift it by the rim.
Using expanded clay aggregate
Horticultural expanded clay aggregate is a porous granular material with a high capacity for absorbing moisture. Spread across the bottom of the pot, it creates a reservoir of moisture and stops the plant's roots from staying in constant contact with excess water. It acts as drainage. Expanded clay aggregate is chemically inert — it doesn't change the pH of the substrate and is also resistant to any mould or fungal growth, which lowers the risk of plant infections.
Expanded clay aggregate

in packs of

Watering
With indirect planting, remember to water the spot where the part of the substrate inside the insert is located.
Keeping it clean
Clean with clean water (or glass cleaner if needed) using a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use solvents or citrus-based cleaners.
Failure to follow the guidelines above counts as misuse and voids the right to any complaints or claims.
