Insights
Grown in peat free compost in a biodegradable pot made from waste coir and natural latex. Remove plant from pot or cut/tear away some of the coir if the plant is well rooted and hard to remove.

Care
- Pop the discarded coir pot in the green bin, leave out for birds to use for nesting, use as mulch or add to compost heap
