How To Use Succulent Plugs?

Step 1: 

Make an open, free-draining compost by mixing potting soil for succulents and perlite. Push up with a pencil from the bottom of each plug to remove it from its module.

Step 2:

Fill the planter pot with compost mix, tapping it, so it settles and leaves a gap at the top for easy watering. Pick the right size pot, between 7 and 9cm, depending on the plug size. 

Make a hole slightly bigger than the plug in the center of the compost with a dibber or your finger.

Step 3:

Put each plug into the hole by holding it by its leaves or rootball. Firm the compost gently around the plug to ensure the roots spread as the succulent plant grows.

Step 4:

When all the succulent plugs have been planted, water with a fine rose so that the composite is not disturbed. Keep these succulent plugs in the indirect sunlight for a few days to soak up.
