Product Information
Prepare & Use
Seed Sowing
- Place compost in a tray or pot and fill to just below the rim.
- Tap down the compost with a board or level tool to give a flat even
surface.
- Water the compost thoroughly and allow to drain.
- Sow the seeds evenly over the whole surface. Cover seeds evenly
with a thin layer of compost and water using a watering can with
a fine rose.
- Ensure that the compost is kept moist by covering the seeds with a
thin layer of polythene or a sheet of glass until the seeds have
germinated. Keep seeds out of direct sunlight.
Pricking Out
- When the seedlings are large enough to handle, remove them from
the seed tray with a dibber or pencil and place them in pots or trays
of Westland West+ Multi Purpose Compost.
- Always pick up seedlings by their leaves, rather than their stems as
this causes less damage.
Cuttings
- Take cuttings by making a sloping cut, with a sharp knife, in the
stem and removing all of the bottom leaves.
- To encourage rooting, dip the end of the cutting in hormone
rooting powder.
- Fill pot/tray with compost and water well.
- Making a hole in the compost with a pencil/dibber place the cutting
into the hole and gently firm the compost around it, ensuring good
contact of the compost with the submerged cutting.
- Water thoroughly.
- Do not place cuttings too close together. Place in warm environment
out of direct sunlight until cuttings have taken.
- When finished taking cuttings, place glass or polythene over the
pot/tray to reduce moisture loss, ensuring the leaves do not touch
the glass or polythene
