FAQs
What type of soil should I use with the growing pods?
Use a high-quality potting mix or a blend of compost and garden soil. Avoid using heavy garden soil directly, as it can compact too easily in a container.
How often should I water the trees in the growing pods?
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. This might be daily in hot weather, or every few days in cooler conditions. Container plants require more frequent watering than those in the ground.
Can I plant multiple trees in one 45L pod?
It is generally recommended to plant only one tree per 45L growing pod to allow adequate space for root development and prevent competition.
How long will the support stakes last?
The stakes are treated softwood and designed for durability. They should last for several growing seasons, but their lifespan can be affected by environmental conditions.
Is the Mycorrhizal Fungi necessary for the trees to survive?
While the trees can survive without it, Mycorrhizal Fungi significantly improves establishment, water retention, and nutrient uptake, leading to healthier, more resilient trees and reducing the risk of transplant shock.
Can I move the trees once they are fully established?
Yes, the growing pods are designed with strong handles to facilitate movement, even when the tree is larger and more established. Ensure the soil is moist before moving to reduce stress on the plant.
What is the lifespan of the growing pod bags?
The bags are made from hard-wearing, weather-resistant materials and are designed to last for several years, providing a durable home for your trees.
Troubleshooting
Tree appears unstable or is leaning
Ensure the support stake is firmly planted in the soil and that the rubber tree ties are snug but not constricting the trunk. Adjust ties as needed.
Poor growth or wilting
Check soil moisture; water thoroughly if dry. Ensure the tree is in an appropriate location for its sunlight needs. Verify Rootgrow was applied correctly during planting.
Growing bag handles feel weak
These bags are designed for moving established trees and pods, not for extreme weight or rough dragging. Lift from the base of the bag if possible for maximum stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the 3 x 45L growing pod bags in your desired location.
Fill the bags with suitable potting soil or compost, leaving space for the tree's root ball.
Gently remove your tree from its nursery pot and place it in the center of the growing pod.
Backfill with more soil, ensuring the root flare is at or just below the soil surface. Do not compact the soil too tightly.
Open the sachet of Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi and apply directly to the tree roots as per the sachet's instructions (typically sprinkled onto roots before backfilling).
Insert the 1.2m support stake into the soil near the tree trunk, being careful not to damage the roots.
Use the 30cm rubber tree ties to loosely secure the tree trunk to the stake, allowing for growth.
Water the tree thoroughly after planting.
Compatibility:
Suitable for most young trees, shrubs, and larger perennials with root balls that fit within a 45L volume.
Ideal for patio, balcony, or small garden planting.
Care:
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, as container-grown plants can dry out more quickly.
The growing bags are weather-resistant and can be left outdoors. Clean with water and a soft brush if necessary.
Periodically check the ties and stakes; adjust or replace as the tree grows.
