Caring for your plugs
Plugs should be planted into a good quality peat or John Innes based compost. We do not recommend growing in organic, peat free or homemade compost as too many nutrient problems can occur.
We recommend potting into 9cm pots or packs on arrival and planting into borders and tubs when the roots have filled the pots.
Plants should be grown in a well lit and well ventilated environment. Strict hygene should be observed to avoid disease problems. Light feeding should begin 3 weeks after planting. After 4 weeks plants should be budded up and ready for potting on into borders pots or baskets.
These should not be planted outside until the frosts have passed.
We do our best to ensure that plants arrive in the best possible condition but sometimes packages get damaged in the post. If this happens we require photographic proof of damage before any action can be taken.
Please use the Ebay messaging service for any correspondence.
Happy growing
