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 roots 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 a 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 the 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 it 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
- Re-seal bag after use
- Not suitable for use with ericaceous (lime hating) plants
- Wash hands after use
