Seed Starter

For Starting Seeds & Rooting Cuttings

Use indoors in the late Winter or early Spring to start seeds for transplanting into the garden.

Starting from seeds:

• Fill a shallow container with Espoma Organic Seed Starter. Peat pots or special seed starting trays with drainage holes make transplanting easier.
• Wet seeds and allow to drain.
• Plant seeds according to package directions.
• Place container in a warm bright location (avoid direct sunlight).
• Keep moist by misting with a spray bottle.
• When the plant develops its first true leaves transplant it into a larger container or outdoors in a prepared bed.

Note: Dig seedling out of its mix and extend handle with care to avoid damaging the fragile stem and root system.

Starting from Cuttings:

• Add seed starter to a clean container and wet the mix.
• Make a hole with a pencil, gently insert the cutting and pat the soil to close the hole.
• Keep soil moist until roots are developed and the plant can be transplanted.
