We say “less is more!” When transplanting 2” - 5” containers, use 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup. Make contact with the young roots in the planting hole and your new little plants will establish a strong root system quickly and easily! So this bag can transplant up to 24 plants! If you have any left over after you are finished, use the rest of the bag as top dressing and gently scratch into the surface.
