4 Easy Steps to Plant
Pulp Pot Roses
Beautifully biodegradable
Planting a Pulp Pot Rose
- Dig a hole twice the width and 1/2 the depth of the pulp pot.
- Mix the soil with Dr. Earth Mother Land All Purpose Planting Mix (ratio 50/50). Put a layer of soil mixture in the hole. Mix in recommended label rate of Dr. Earth Root Zone starter fertilizer.
- Place the pulp pot in the planting hole. If necessary, mound the soil in the bottom of the hole to raise or lower the pot to match the soil level inside the pot to the soil level outside the pot. Be sure the graft of the rose is above the soil level. Fill around pot with soil mixture.
- Soak the root area with a solution of Liquinox Vitamin B-1. As the Vitamin B-1 stimulates the root growth of the transplanted rose, the biodegradable pulp pot will begin to break down.
Project time: Less than 30 minutes
