So I’m just going to turn those back over and stand it up. You’ve got roots showing down the side and in the bottom. And you can see you’ve got the same thing. Just find where you can put your fingers without damaging the stems, turn your plant pot over.
So, same process as before with the chilies. They should grow away nicely now, pop it back into the greenhouse, the tray itself has got drainage holes in, so the water will drain away.
Once you’ve pricked it out of its original pot. And all we do with that is just water and you need to water the plant anyway. And that should set the plant up to be healthy and strong. So week one, then four weeks time another dose, then in eight weeks time, the third and final dose. And that helps to feed the plant and encourage it into growth.Īnd you give this three times at four weekly intervals. And all you do is just sprinkle around the top of the compost in the pot. And It’s good for chillies, tomatoes, Some flowers like dahlias, etc., which we’ve used in the past so it’s just one level scoop. And what we’re actually going to do, we’re going to treat these with a product called Envii Foundation, which encourages root growth and it stimulates the plant to put on more leaf growth as well. We’ve not really disturbed those plants at all, which is good. You don’t need to firm them into too much because you want the roots to move freely through the compost, but you need to get all the air out of the compost as well. Just making sure your plant is going to be at the same depth in the pot as it was in its original container. So want to know which is which basically. I’m only labeling it because we’ve got different types of chilis. So what we do is just set this at the same height, the same depth as it was in the original pot, gently firm in give it a label. Try and keep as much compost on there as we can. So I’m just going to prize those two apart. And as you can see, you’ve got roots coming out of the compost there and at the bottom. They’ve had a watering early this morning, so it’s a couple of hours ago just so that the compost holds together, holds its shape.
And then all I’m going to do is just break the clump apart.
#LEGGY TOMATO SEEDLINGS FREE#
I’ve put some drainage holes in the bottom, so I’m going to use good peat free compost. But just for these small plants we’re just going to use small yogurt pots just to recycle. And they are sort of the perfect size really. All I’ve done is just cut the top off just to make it easy to stand up in the tray. So they’re ready to prick out into a larger pot, individual pot.Īnd the pots I’m going to use today are these recycled yogurt pots. And then you can see you’ve got roots forming in the bottom of the pot. And the easiest way to do it is just to support the compost with your fingers, turn the pot upside down and just gently tip it out. So all I’m going to do is just knock them out of the pot. So they’re ready for moving on into fresh compost. This is a variety of chili called Longhorn that was set a couple of months ago now in February.
