Nicotiana Cuba Mix

Planting Advice:

• Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
• Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they?ll quickly recover.
• Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
• Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
• Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry.
• They don?t like to be left in standing water.
• Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
• Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
• Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.

Aftercare advice:

• Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous containers that last the whole season.
• Check and water containers every day in summer, (unless the compost is wet).
• Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
• From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.
• Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
• Do not allow plants to set seed.
