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
