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.
The majority of our plants are grown in paper pots. The roots will grow easily through this paper and removing it can damage the roots and effect growth so we do not recommend removing it.
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 hygiene 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 or pots.
These plants should be protected from frost until established.
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.
