Raising seed in containers:
Step 1: Fill the container with Yates Seed Raising Mix to 1cm below rim of container. Mix should be moist.
Step 2: Level and gently firm the mix.
Step 3: Space seed as directed.
Step 4: Lightly cover with thin layer of Seed Raising Mix. Very small seeds, or seeds requiring light to germinate, may be simply pushed into the surface.
Step 5: Water with a fine mist so as to not dislocate or float the seeds.
Step 6: Place in a lightly shaded or dappled sun position. Cover fine seeds with glass or plastic to help maintain even temperature and moisture.
Step 7: When seeds have germinated, remove the covering and move into stronger light and eventually more sunlight to harden off the seedlings.
Step 8: Keep moist but not wet and do not let dry right out.
Step 9: Transplant seedlings when they are big enough to easily handle or roots are starting to show through bottom of tray.
Propagating cuttings:
Successful propagation of cuttings requires warm, moist and humid conditions.
Step 1: Fill pot or tray with moist Yates Seed Raising Mix.
Step 2: Select fresh cuttings from healthy plants.
Step 3: Prepare cuttings and trim as required.
Step 4: Make a hole in the mix to required depth with a pencil or similar.
Step 5: Dip cut end in Yates Cutting Powder. Insert cutting into hole and firm around it gently.
Step 6: Water well and allow to drain.
Step 7: Enclose in plastic or glass to maintain humidity and warmth. Avoid the cover touching leaves.
Step 8: Place in a warm position and good light but not direct sun. Keep moist but not wet.
Step 9: When roots have formed, remove cover and harden off gradually.
