🪴 Planting Plug Plants
Timing: Plant in late winter to early spring — plugs tolerate frost and thrive in cool conditions
Location: Needs full sun or light afternoon shade; protection from harsh wind helps support tall growth
Soil Prep: Enrich well-draining soil with compost; aim for neutral to slightly alkaline pH
Spacing: Allow 30–45 cm between plugs to reduce disease risk and give space to stretch
Depth: Plant at tray depth; gently firm soil around base and water thoroughly
🌿 Seasonal Care
Watering: Deep weekly watering preferred — keep soil moist but not soggy
Feeding: Use a balanced fertilizer monthly during growth; switch to bloom-boosting formula when buds appear
Staking: Provide support early — bamboo canes or grow-through hoops work well
Deadheading: Snip spent blooms to the ground to encourage rebloom and tidy plants
Mulching: A light mulch helps suppress weeds and retain moisture
These are sold as small seedling plugs
