Mycorrhizae Statement:

Mycorrhizae provide increased water and nutrient absorption capabilities. For more information about mycorrhizae visit our website at: www.coastofmaine.com/mycorrhizae While the fertilizer materials contained in this bag have an unlimited shelf life, the mycorrhizae are best used prior to the “expiration date” on the front top right corner of this bag. After that date, their numbers may be reduced.

Storage: Store this bag in a cool, dry, shaded place, avoiding direct sunlight.

How much Stonington Blend will you need? This 1.5 cubic foot bag will fill:

(3) three gallon pots

(2) five gallon pots

(1) ten gallon pot

The above are approximations, as the actual amount of Grower’s Mix needed will de-pend on the size of your plant’s root ball.

Make sure your selected pot(s) have drainage holes.

If you are combining different plants, make sure they are good companions (i.e. they like similar amounts of sun or shade and moisture conditions).

Transplanting into larger containers

• Seedlings or clones should be transplanted into larger containers when they have sprouted their 4th or 5th set of leaves. We recommend our Sprout Island™ Seed Starter for germinating seeds.
• Water your plants 1 – 2 days before transplanting. This will help to keep the rootball intact in the potting soil and help it slide out of its pot more easily.
• Fill the transplant container with Stonington Blend Grower's Mix and pre-water. Avoid overpacking the soil as this can affect drainage and could damage the tender roots.
• Scoop out a hole in the soil for each plant deep enough so the top of the rootball will end up about 1” below the top of the pot.
• Carefully remove the plants from their smaller containers and place into the holes in the transplant container.
• Add more soil until it is level all around your plants. 

Container plants need to be regularly watered and occasionally fed. For best results, water only when the soil is slightly dry to the touch. Because Stonington Blend Grower's Mix is naturally dark in color, it may be hard to tell just by sight. Feed as needed with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food.
