The Watering Indicator turns from blue to red when there is 20 – 25 % moisture remaining in the pot. Examine the roots carefully for fungi or pests. If signs of illness are found, then immerse the specimen in warm, clean water. If after that you additionally process the roots with special means, then the culture can be considered saved. Keep your soil from drying out by covering it with a 3 cm high layer of the granules. The light colour of the granules reduces heat retention, and the granules help prevent an infestation of fungus gnats and prevent weeds.

Reuse is possible. Before new use, the soil is rinsed and calcined in an oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for 30 minutes.
