Below is a checklist of products we here at EEC Hardware suggest you round up to make you and your plants lives easier
Pots – A pot is like giving a new home to your plant and a new space to breathe.

Gloves – When handling fertiliser its best to wear a good pair of gloves as transporting gloves can be a messy job.
Ready To Go!!!
Now that you are well prepared to look after your plant we will bring you through a step by step process to take care and how to let the plant climatise with some tips and tricks to make your life easier.
Guidelines To Your New Plant
- First thing you should do when you have your new plant is repot it, take your new pot and line it with Fertiliser, with this fill it up to the halfway point and create a little round hole in the middle of the soil and place the house plant in the new fertiliser, gently pat around the plant with the fertilizer and make sure its covering the root of the plant.
- One key thing to note when placing your plant is whether or not it’s getting enough and sufficient sunlight, best place to place your plant would be at a window sill or close to a window, if this is not doable do not fret, we have a solution.
- If you can’t lay your plant near a window you can place it in any cool corner in your house but keep in mind that it will need to be watered a lot more often than one placed near a window feeding of direct sunlight.
- Key thing to note is to avoid moving your plant if possible as moving your plant after it climatize. as it can go into a state of shock and die before it gets a chance to reacclimatize.
- Water your plant once a day if possible and avoid over watering the plant, water around the plant and let it soak into the soil, continue until soil is mushy and wet.
