How To Plant Seeds In Pots Correctly

Gardening : Growing Plants

Planting seeds in pots means that you can control their environment and the soil that they are in, hence this is a good idea to start off any seedlings. Also pots are easily transportable so you can keep the plants in the optimum conditions whilst they are germinating and saplings are growing.

To start off of course fill the pot with some good quality soil. Ensure that you sieve it first to get rid of big lumps.

The key task is sowing and with most seeds you need to ensure that there is a reasonable distance between them so that plants do not compete too heavily for the same resources.

It is essential when planting seeds in pots you follow two pieces of advice.

Firstly, how deep you need to plant the seeds - these vary from right on the surface almost to sometimes several inches down.

Secondly, you need to ensure that you observe the sowing times recommended on the packet as most are best planted in certain months of the year and this varies significantly for different plants and seeds.
