Plug Information

Why buy plugs?

Are you tired of struggling to grow plants from seed? Consider using plugs instead! Plugs are grown in optimal conditions with precise watering, humidity, and fertilization to produce strong, healthy seedlings. They are the perfect shortcut to save time and effort, greenhouse space, and the ultimate heartache and frustration of trying to grow from seed. Some seeds are best left to the experts.

Additionally, some seedling plugs are grown from tissue culture, simply because there are no seeds available. Tissue culture grown plugs produce a premium plant, they are more expensive but ultimately provide you with more value for your money. New lines of tissue grown Statice are known to produce many more superior stems of flowers than seed grown plants.

What to do when your plugs arrive.

It's Go Time, when your plants arrive, unpack your box straight away and give your plants indirect light for a day while they recover from their travels, if they are looking sad they should bounce back within a day. They have been grown in Victoria and have had enough time outside to be hardened off and ready to plant out. If you are in a warmer climate give them a few more days to acclimatise to the change in climate. Remove your plugs from their trays by poking them from the bottom, don't pull them out from the top. Bump them up into pots to grow them on and establish a larger plant before planting out. Or plant them out directly if you are confident with your garden beds/soil and can keep them watered while they are establishing bigger roots, Either method will work sending on your experience. Pots will still require regular watering too.

They will need overhead watering while they are establishing before moving to drip irrigation to keep water off the plant once established. Check product info on individual plants for plant specific information.

Happy Flowering!
