Can I spread them on clayish soil after planting in he soil or do I have to remove the plants and till it in?

It would probably wash away if you just spread it on top. You might be able to work it in around the plants with a hand cultivator though.

You need to grow them in the dark until the last day. Then for 1 day you need to put it in the sun to turn them green & then put the in the fridge to keep them fresh.If you have absolutely no sun then cover them & put it in your car where it can get sun for the 1 day....careful not to spill the water....

You're supposed to plant them a 1/4th of an inch down but I usually just put them on top and put a little dirt over them and it works but remember they need about a week and a half in the cold to simulate a cold period. As for how you plant them just spread like grass and thin or start them inside in a seed starter but lavender likes poor soil properties with great drainage. I just get dirt from outside and add rocks. Happy planting.

No as soon as you put them in the soil, you should water them or make sure the soil is wet when you root them.

I have them in a pot but you can plant them in the ground but you need something they can climb up on to as they are climbers.

I put mine in regular organic soil in a small 4 " pot. Per 5 seeds evenly spaced Ill usually get one that grows. they are pain to grow. I put them about 1/2 cm into the soil. They like humidity but dont over water. once a week is good. if its not doing well put a clear plastic bag over it for a few days ( like proudce bags from the store )

I insert mine - then remove it and clean it before inserting it into another plant. Works very well.

I used two cardboard boxes from Lowes. The boxes will swell when wet, but that won't matter until its time to relocate the planter. At that point, simply allow the soil to completely dry out. The cardboard will dry out and become easier to remove.

Do I put the potting soil directly into the pot? I am repotting a palm plant.

I did not. Put them in dirt, watered and almost every seed germinated. They grew like weeds. I've already had to transplant them into larger pots. I did water them every day, lightly.

My daughter and I planted them in a raised bed at her University housing and they were very easy to push down into a prepared bed. We are waiting for them to germinate. I usually plant seeds from packets and if you've done that, you know that sometimes no matter how carefully you space them out, water or some critter will disturb the soil and you end up with every seed germinating in the same one inch space. There was more control with these pods and easier to space out the different types of plants: herbs, tomatoes, beans, cukes, lettuces. We pushed the pods down in the center of tomato cages that will need support when they grow. I am a long time gardener and I plant a garden every year at home and this was very easy compared to what I normally do. Hope this helps.

If your area has well-draining soil, you can consider planting it in the ground,but the plants sold don't seem to have been sun-hardened yet: they haveto be gradually introduced to full sun. As others have said, pots allow youto move the plant out of the way of filthier weather/seasons.

Hi, Brandie, sorry you're having difficulty opening the PDF Planting, Sprouting and Storing Guide. You may just have a very slow Internet connection. You don't really have to do anything to the seeds before planting them. Just follow the guidelines that are presented in the guide. Proper soil temperature, proper depth and spacing is all you need to pay attention to. If you want your seeds to germinate quickly, you can soak them before planting them into the ground or a pot. If you decide to soak your seeds to speed up the germination process, you just fill a bowl about 2-3" deep with lukewarm water. Then place the seeds into the water for 24 hours. I don't leave them for any more than 48 hours as you can drown them. I really recommend 24 hours. After you soak them you should plant them right away...the same day you remove them from the water is best.

It's recommended that you cultivate the soil first, then spread thinly by hand (no need to use a spreader). No top soil or fertilizer either. It will deaden the germination process.

I pre soak in water you need to get them by the roots the best way would be to replant and add to soil but you could dig a trough and drop down around roots add soil on top if you don't soak in water first you can add too many and it will push soil out

I have not received my cuttings as of yet(have made two requests). I have planted in the past, and no you do not need to. I would make sure that you plant in a well draining pot or area though, and after sprouts appear, fertilize. At least I have had luck in the past doing this and it eliminates the chance of burning any rooting before it gets a firm hold.

All I did was stick the stock in the dirt, but instead of planting in the ground I instead use a small plants pot and plant the stock in it, once it matures than I will transfer into a bigger pot. I use a moisture soil and water twice a week, it works for me, I can see little sprouts coming out from the top. Hope this helps...Fyi I'm not an experts., just someone who loves flowers:)
