Simple and EASY

  • Push fill tube firmly into platform. Place inside container.
  • Remove plant from existing container. Gently loosen old soil from around the root ball.
  • Place a small amount of soil on top of JARDINIER platform. Just enough to cover the surface. If you prefer, you can replace this method using only perlite or clay pebbles instead of layer of soil.
  • Place the plant on top, and continue to add soil.
  • Lightly top water the soil. This is only needed for initial planting. By doing this, it sets the soil.
  • Fill water through fill tube. Use JARDINIER dipstick to check water level.

Important to note:

  • Moist top soil and empty reservoir = No need to fill with water as yet
  • Dry top soil and empty reservoir = Fill with water
  • The initial planting absorbs water more quickly. The plant will acclimatize to the environment in a short while
  • An excellent way to fertilize your plants is with a water soluble plant food. Just mix as per directions and pour into reservoir
  • And don't forget. African Violets love the JARDINIER container

Orchids

The JARDINIER container works wonderfully for orchids. Ordinary clay pots have continuous moisture which evaporates outwards, cooling the soil and leaving salt deposits. These deposits can damage the roots. The JARDINIER container requires less watering.

This 7'' container from Jardinier contains 550ml/1 pint of water

Heres a little JARDINIER trick, to keep the container more stable for TALL orchids. Place the moat platform ( without fill tube) in the container. Pour small pebbles on top of the platform and a small amount through the platform hole. Replace fill tube. Continue to pot your orchid. This will not only make it more stable for the orchid, but will allow for good drainage.

If you're a beginner, by all means, go with a good ready made orchid soil mix found at a quality garden centre. Orchids can be a little tricky, so always ask for advice from the experts. Always remember, orchids need a open, loose mixture.
