    Sowing seeds:

    - Sow the seeds following the instructions on the seed pack
    - Water gently using a watering can with a fine rose
    - Cover the seed tray with propagator lid, glass or clear polythene to create a humid atmosphere
    - Place in a warm spot away from direct sunlight until seeds have germinated
    - Remove propagator lid, glass or polythene & keep moist until seedlings are ready for pricking out

    Taking cuttings:
    - Fill a propagator, seed tray or pot evenly with compost & firm with a tamper
    - Make a sloping cut in the stem of the cutting & remove all bottom leaves
    - Dip the end of the cutting into rooting powder to encourage rooting
    - Make a hole in the compost with a pencil or dibber
    - Place the cutting into the hole & firm compost gently around it
    - Cover the tray with propagator lid, glass or clear polythene to create a humid atmosphere
    - Place in a warm spot away from direct sunlight, until the cuttings have taken

    Handy gardening tips:
    - Store in a dry, frost-free place away from any garden chemicals
    - Not suitable for use with ericaceous (acid loving) plants
