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. Their mature state means that they will flower faster than smaller plants, giving you plants sooner than if you had started them from scratch at home. 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.
