🌱🌿 Potting and Pricking Out: Tips for Thriving Seedlings! 🌿🌱

🌸 It's that time of year when our seedlings need a little extra TLC to grow strong and healthy. Here's a quick guide on potting and pricking out your young plants. 🌼

✨ Pricking Out ✨

Timing: When your seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, they’re ready.
Tools: Use a small fork or pricking-out tool.
Method: Gently lift seedlings by their leaves, not the stem, to avoid damage.
Spacing: Transplant them into larger trays or pots, giving each enough room to grow.
🌿 Potting Up 🌿

Preparation: Choose pots that are 1-2 sizes larger than their current ones.
Soil: Use quality potting mix with good drainage.
Planting: Place seedlings in the new pot, ensuring the root ball is covered but not too deep.
Watering: Water thoroughly but avoid overwatering. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
🌞 Pro Tips 🌞

Labeling: Don’t forget to label your seedlings!
Light: Ensure they get plenty of light, either from a sunny window or grow lights.
Acclimate: Gradually introduce them to outdoor conditions before planting outside.
Happy gardening! Let’s nurture our little green friends into beautiful, robust plants. 🌻💚 https://bit.ly/3yKXFmt

🔧 What You'll Need:

Polycell Deep Gap Polyfilla ( #261150)
Polycell Multi-purpose Quick-dry Polyfilla ( #180143)
Sandpaper
Putty knife
Damp cloth
🔨 Step-by-Step Guide:

Clean the Area: Remove any loose debris or dust from the hole with a damp cloth.

Fill Deep Gaps: Use the Polycell Deep Gap Polyfilla (261150) for holes deeper than 5mm. Apply with a putty knife, ensuring it's slightly overfilled to allow for shrinkage. Let it dry according to the instructions.

Smooth the Surface: Once the deep filler is dry, sand it down to a smooth finish. Wipe away any dust with a damp cloth.

Final Touch-Up: For a perfect finish, apply a thin layer of Polycell Multi-purpose Quick-dry Polyfill180143) over the filled area. This ensures a smooth and even surface.

Sand Again: After the final filler dries, sand it lightly to blend with the surrounding wall.

Paint: Once you're happy with the smoothness, paint over the patched area to match the rest of your wall.

And voilà! Your wall is as good as new. Enjoy your bank holiday with a freshly fixed home! 🏠✨
