Watering & Feeding

Watering:
Plantcare makes use of sub-irrigation system, which is generally considered as being the most logical and effective method of correctly watering indoor plants in scaled containers.

The South African plantscape industry has extensively used the Styler liner. This is a sub-irrigated controlled watering system bases on the capillary leg principle which was designed and perfected by Styler Products (Pty) Ltd together with input from leading South african interiorscapers and growers.

The liner comprises three main components: A broad base for maximum rooting space, so essential for the health and quality of the plant, a soil deck, which forms the reservoir and incorporates a groove for capillary stones (pumice); and a fill pipe for watering. The Styker Liner is assemled with a cap fitted to fill pipe to provent soil falling into the reservoir.

Feeding:
Plants will be adequatly 6 weeks feeding in order to sustain vigour and appearance

Pruning & Rotation

Pruning:
Plant will be inspected at regular intervals and replaced where necessary to retain overall quality. Plants will be of the same type and size as previously supplied at the expence of Plantcare. Maintenance agreement will allow for realistic provision for ongoing plants in order to sustain plantscaping standards as set out by IPSA.

Rotation:
Specimens, where possible, will be rotated by pot turning in order to induce balanced growth
