Growing at a glance…

Pot grown plants are bigger than our modules or plugs. We grow them until they produce foliage, allowing you to plant them directly outdoors on arrival. Dig a hole that's big enough to house the root system and backfill with soil, ensuring it's planted firmly. Ensure its soil is kept moist. Provide support when planting in the form of a trellis or structure to help it achieve it's full potential.
