Using
gloves for this process is optional. We don't usually use them. However,
if you are a beginner and you don't feel happy working without them,
always use them, as they will help you to avoid catching any type
of fungus.
Lets begin
by placing the earth into the pot with the help of the shovel.
We shouldn't
fill up the pot with earth; we should consider the space that the
plant occupies.
Using the
shovel, stir the earth in the centre of the pot and leave a hole approximately
20 cm deep.
In the
base of the hole, place a few grains of fertilizer with the formula
16-20-0. This means that it has 16% nitrogen which favours the growth
of the plant, 20% phosphorus which stimulates the development of the
roots and flowering and 0% potassium.
This formula
favours the plant in this stage when we need to develop the roots
and growth.
