How to Use:

First put on a pair of gloves and rework compost between your hands, so it retains its intended texture.

Seedlings/Pricking out

  • Pick out seedlings once they are large enough to handle.

    Hold seedlings by the leaves to avoid damage and tease out root using a dibber or pencil.

  • Plant seedlings apart to allow for growth.

    Water regularly until the seeds are ready to be potted on.

Potting

  • Water plant well and allow to drain before potting. Allow enough space to accommodate the roots.
  • Remove from pot and plant in container, firming the compost gently around the roots.
  • Once fully planted, water well.

Taking cuttings

  • Fill seed tray evenly with compost, firm gently and water.
  • Make a sloping cut in the stem of the cutting and remove all bottom leaves.
  • Dip the end of the cutting in a hormone rooting powder to encourage rooting.
  • Make a hole in the compost with a pencil/dibber.
  • Place cutting in the hole and firm compost gently around it.
  • Cover the tray with polythene or glass to prevent drying out and place in a warm spot, away from direct sunlight until the cuttings have taken.

Hanging Baskets

  • Line the basket and fill with compost.

    Plant with trailing plants around the outside and upright plants in the middle.

  • Water well.

General Advice:

  • Store in a frost free place away from weed killers and other chemicals.
