- Water the seedlings thoroughly in their trays, before planting.
- Planting is best done during the cool hours of the day.
- Dig over the chosen area thoroughly and remove any weeds.
- Prepare the area well with compost and add in a handful of organic fertilizer per square meter.
- To remove the seedlings from their tray cavities, support the stem with a finger on either side and gently push the plant from the bottom using a stick or a pencil. DO NOT PULL THEM OUT OF THE TRAY BY THEIR STEMS OR LEAVES.
- Ensure that the plant is placed in the soil at the same depth as it was in the trays. DO NOT BURY THE STEMS.
- Gently firm the soil around the roots to remove air pockets in the soil without compacting the soil too much.
- Water well with a fine rose sprayer so that the soil is not washed off the roots.
- Foliar feed regularly with any foliar fertilizer for best results.
- Deadheading regularly will prolong the flowering period of your seedlings.
