Some Tips from Jack: Sowing Seeds: • Fill a seed tray with compost and firm gently. • Sow seeds to the depth and spacing mentioned on the seed packet. Many seeds have specific germination advice which should be followed. • Water compost after sowing seeds. Covering the seed tray with polythene or glass will help to stop the compost from drying out. • Keep trays in a warm area, away from direct sunlight until seeds germinate. Once seeds have germinated, remove the polythene/glass and keep soil moist. 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 & Hanging Baskets: • Line the basket and fill with compost. Plant with trailing plants around the outside the upright plants in the middle. • Water well. Jacks tips: • Re-seal the bag after youve used it. • Store in a dry, frost-free place away from weedkillers and other chemicals. • Not suitable for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants. • Wear gloves before handling.
