Can’t plant straight away?
If you aren't able to pot your plugs up straight away then ensure they stay moist. You can place your plugs on a saucer or tray of shallow water so they are able to stay hydrated. Aim to have your plugs potted on within 3 days.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in containers: Sprinkle a layer of stone or gravel in the bottom of the container to aid drainage. Use a high-quality young plant or general-purpose compost. Space plants around 15cm apart. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before placing the plant to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 3-5 days and don't allow the container to dry out.
Planting in the ground: Dig in general-purpose compost before planting. Water thoroughly after planting.
Feeding and aftercare: Pinch out the growing tips of plants while they are small to encourage bushy growth. When feeding use a liquid feed high in potash.
