NaturePots
The NaturePot helps to reduce waste and provides a new and environmentally friendly way of planting roses. The pots are a sustainable product made of organic rice husks from a renewable resource in Europe. They are 100% biodegradable either in the ground or in a compost bin.

Recyclable wrap: NaturePot roses come with a printed wrap that is made from fully recyclable polypropylene and includes a press out label to identify your rose when planted. The wrap can be recycled where facilities exist - please check with your local recycling centre.

Planting instructions: NaturePots make thorny plants such as roses easier to plant and because the pot is not removed there is no damage to the root system thereby giving the rose a good start. First of all prepare your site well. Your rose should give many years pleasure and deserves to get the best start. Dig the area well, applying a liberal dressing of well rotted garden compost, or better still farmyard manure (or equivalent).

|
1. Don't remove the pot before planting. Before planting water the rose thoroughly.
|
 |
2. Gently crush or break open the pot slightly to aid the rooting process.
|
 |
3. Plant the NaturePot deep enough to ensure it is completely covered with soil.
|
 |
4. Press the soil firmly around the pot and water thoroughly. Water your rose in well and keep moist until established.
|
 |
NaturePots sometimes have a slight mould under the printed wrap but this will have no negative effect on your rose and will in fact aid the degradation of the pot.
|
|
| NaturePots should take approximately 4 months to decompose in the ground to a stage when the pot is mixed into the soil. The decomposition rate will be faster in a well aerated soil as there are more microbes available to break down the pot than in a more compact soil. The NaturePot will decompose into a natural soil improver. |
