Planting advice

[Karl Roberts]

Hi looking to go buy some plants today and was looking at them and was wondering do you take them out the pots? Can I split them up?

Yes take them out of the pots. Most plants can be split into smaller individual plants/stems.

How would I do that?

Depends on the plant. Most are already separated but are bunched together in the pot and should just pull apart. You will be able to the individual plants.

What are you planning on getting?

Don't know till I get to the shop. I looked online for some plants and I mainly like the big plants so I've got about £50 for initial plants

The pots usually consist of multiple plants it's as pulling them out of the pot and separating them.

Out is fine. Plants have no issues with being out of water as long as the stay moist. When you buy them they usually plonk them in a bag without water and tie it up and they can stay good in there for a few days if kept in the dark

If you're spending £50 on plants, you want to make sure they don't all die.

Are you using Co2, liquid carbon or ferts? What is your lighting?

and if the pots / plants are in fibre remove it from the roots before planting ....well remove as much as you can

Have a look at thegreenmachine website, when you click each section of plants there is a video showing how to treat them
