Jobs To Be Getting On With

Wherever possible, plants should be watered by standing the pots in a bowl of water and leaving them until the surface of the compost glistens; the pots can then be removed and allowed to drain before returning them to the bench top. If watering plants from above, place the spout of the watering can under the leaves and try to water before midday.
