When your annual plug plants arrive

  • Keep trays indoors in a well-lit, draught free area for 24 hours.
  • If the compost is a little dry, stand the tray in shallow water. Or spray water lightly over the tray, and then place in a position where there is adequate airflow to dry the excess water from the leaves.
  • Once the compost is moist allow the tray to drain.
  • There may be some loose compost or a slight yellowing of the leaves which is a consequence of the plants being shipped.
  • This will not affect the condition of the mature plants.

Growing on

  • Water 1-2 hours prior to planting on.
  • Gently remove the plugs from the tray by pushing up from the bottom using a pencil or something similar.
  • Transfer the plants into small pots or seed trays filled with good multi-purpose compost.
  • Water the plants well once, and then do not water again until the compost is nearly dry or the plants are wilting.
  • Place the plants in a warm well-lit area but out of direct sunlight.
  • Apply a liquid fertiliser after 2-3 weeks.
  • Grow on indoors for 3-4 weeks.

Planting out

  • For Spring Bedding Plants, once the risk of frost has passed your bedding plants can be planted outside.
  • Harden off the plants prior to planting out, by placing the plants outside during the day and bringing in at night for 2 weeks.
  • Water plants 1-2 hours prior to planting out.
  • Once planted water the plants well.
  • To establish the growth of young plants, it is important that you water regularly especially during dry sunny spells and again in late evening.
  • If after planting out there is a risk of frost, cover the plants at night with an old sheet.
