How to pot and re-pot?

Repot any time of the year; spring is an ideal time during the growing season.

1. Seedlings – Fill the pot or seed tray with potting mix and level off. Prick off seedlings into holes. Gently firm the potting mix, add a little more if necessary and water in.

2. Cuttings – Rooted cuttings should be potted on into individual pots or containers, taking care with fragile roots. For larger cuttings half fill a pot, place the plant in position and fill around the roots with potting mix. Gently firm mix and water well.

3. Re-potting – Water the plant and allow to drain before removing carefully from the pot using folded paper to protect your hands against spikes.

4. Put a layer of potting mix in the new pot and sit the plant on it. Fill the rest of the pot with potting mix, firming lightly around the root ball. Don’t water for a few days to prevent rotting of damaged roots.
