When seedlings start to grow, incorporate some soluble fertiliser, such as Debco WaterSoluble All Purpose into your watering program to assist growth and development.

 


"Choosing the right potting mix is very important. A good mix isn't just thrown together - it contains just the right proportion of airspace, water holding capacity and concentration of nutrients for good plant growth. I always look for a potting mix which displays the Australian Standards endorsement - so I know I am getting a good product."  John Patrick, ABC's Gardening Australia
