How To Use

Seed Sowing

Fill a seed or cell tray evenly with SylvaGrow Seed Compost, tapping gently to settle

Lightly water with a fine rose

Sow the seeds carefully, according to the packet instructions, cover with more SylvaGrow Seed Compost to a depth as directed

Cover the seed tray with glass or polythene and put in a warm place out of direct sunlight

Remove the cover when the seeds have germinated and ensure the SylvaGrow is kept evenly moist at all times

Prick out as soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle.

Pricking Out

SylvaGrow Seed Compost can be used to prick out the germinated seedlings. We can also recommend SylvaGrow Multi-Purpose, SylvaGrow with added John Innes or SylvaGrow John Innes No 1 for this purpose.

When the seedlings are large enough to handle, gently tease them out of the growing medium using a dibber or pencil, taking care to handle only by the leaves.

Fill a suitable pot with fresh SylvaGrow Seed Compost, use a dibber to make a hole and place the seedling in it

Gently firm the compost around the roots and tap the pot to settle the compost

Water gently but thoroughly

After 3- 4 weeks, regularly apply a liquid feed, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, at the time of pricking out, incorporate slow-release fertilizer granules according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cuttings

SylvaGrow Seed Compost can successfully be used as a propagation medium for fine-stemmed cuttings. For coarser-stemmed cuttings we recommend the addition of up to 50% grit such as Melcourt Potting Grit or Melcourt Coarse Grit, in order to provide more freely-draining conditions.

Ensure the mother plant is well-watered before taking cuttings

Fill a deep seed tray or pot with SylvaGrow Seed Compost and make a suitable hole with a dibber or pencil

Prepare the stem or root cuttings according to type, ensuring that they are not allowed to dry out between cutting and inserting. Dip in hormone rooting powder/liquid if using

Insert the cutting and gently firm the medium around it

Stem cuttings need to be in a moist environment out of direct sunlight until they have rooted so either place in a cold frame, a covered propagator or cover with polythene, using supports to prevent the polythene from touching the cuttings. Root cuttings can be placed in a cold frame or sheltered spot out of direct sunlight and can benefit from a thin layer of grit on the growing medium surface

Once the cuttings are well-rooted they can be potted on.
