Raising Seed in Containers

1. Fill and Moisturize: Fill the container with Yates Seed Raising Mix, leaving 1cm below the rim. Ensure the mix is moist.
2. Level and Firm: Level and gently firm the mix.
3. Seed Placement: Space seeds as directed.
4. Cover and Water: Lightly cover with a thin layer of Seed Raising Mix. Water with a fine mist to avoid dislocating seeds.
5. Positioning: Place in a lightly shaded or dappled sun position. Cover fine seeds with glass or plastic for consistent temperature and moisture.
6. Germination and Transplanting: Once germinated, remove the covering and gradually move into stronger light. Keep moist but not wet. Transplant seedlings when ready.

Propagating Cuttings

1. Prepare Mix: Fill a pot or tray with moist Yates Seed Raising Mix.
2. Select Cuttings: Choose fresh cuttings from healthy plants.
3. Prepare and Insert: Prepare cuttings, trim as needed, and make a hole in the mix. Dip the cut end in Yates Cutting Powder, insert into the hole, and gently firm.
4. Enclose and Maintain: Water well, and enclose in plastic or glass to maintain humidity and warmth. Avoid the cover touching leaves.
5. Positioning: Place in a warm, well-lit area (avoid direct sun). Keep moist but not wet.
6. Root Formation and Gradual Hardening: Once roots form, remove the cover and gradually harden off.
