Why Use
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
- Prick out seedlings once large enough to handle. Hold the seedling by the leaves to avoid damage and gently tease the roots from the compost using a dibber or pencil
- Space seedlings to allow for vigorous growth. Water regularly until the seedlings are ready to be potted on
Potting
- Before potting, water plants well and allow to drain
- Choose new containers that are clean, have good drainage and enough space for root growth
- Put the plant in the new container and fill the space with new compost
- Water well and allow to drain
Take cuttings
- Fill a pot or tray with compost and firm gently
- Prepare the cutting according to the specific needs of the plant
- Generally, removing the bottom leaves and creating a sloping cut in the stem close to the joint will make a good cutting
- Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or pencil, place the cutting in the hole and firm the compost around it
- Place in a warm spot away from direct sunlight
Container and hanging baskets
- Line the basket and fill with compost. Plant with trailing plants around the outside the upright plants in the middle
- Water well
