Burton Grange Nursery

Rooted Cuttings
Before receiving your cuttings you will need:

1. Peat - well draining potting soil

2. Fertilizer - Miracle-Gro

3. Pot - 2 Litre pot with good drainage holes underneath

When you receive your cuttings:

Place the cutting in the pot and fill with peat. Do not pack the peat tightly into the pot

Water generously (without fertilizer)

Position:

Autumn to early spring: Place the potted cutting in a warm and sunny room or conservatory. Keep the temperature above 14 degrees centigrade.

Late spring and summer: Keep the potted cutting out of direct midday sunlight until it is well established with plenty of leaves.

After care:

When you see the first signs of new roots, begin fertilizing your plant with every watering.

Watering should be done from underneath. Stand the pot in a tray of approximately 2cm of water and fertilizer and leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Water only when necessary (when the pot feels noticeably lighter). Over-watering will kill the plant.

Pinching:

When your cutting is approximately 10cm tall, pinch the head out - this will encourage branching and a more bushy plant.

Mature Plants

Temperature:

Days: 15-25°C (59-77°F)
Nights: 12-16°C (54-61°F)

Light:

Good sunlight exposure is required for bright flower colour but exposure to extreme sunlight will cause leaf burn.

Watering:

Place pot in 2cm of water and fertilizer and leave to stand for 10-15 minutes. Keep pots moist but avoid excessively wet and excessively dry conditions.
