It's important to prick out and pot on as soon as the plant is ready.

The second set of true leaves that emerge after the seed or cotyledon leaves means its time to transplant seedlings into larger containers this is known as 'pricking out'. Once seedlings have germinated, they need space to establish a strong root system.

Usually, it takes 1 to 2 weeks to germinate. The best average temperature to grow your plants is 18 to 24'C (64 to 75'F). The warmer the environment, the faster the germination. Germination speed mainly depends on the temperature of your room. How long will the seeds take to germinate? You'll be surprised at how much compost it can make. To hydrate the block, simply add a little water, wait 20 minutes and fluff up the soil. Or you can use it to improve borders or vegetable beds by adding organic matter - it's great dug into clay soils to improve the structure. It can germinate seeds and establish root cuttings as a base for homemade composts or be added to aerate garden waste composts. Compressed coir, once rehydrated, is ideal for a multitude of different uses.

Our peat-free organic coir blocks are a bi-product of the coconut industry and free from fertilisers, chemicals and green waste. The cotyledons are a part of the seed and act as a food source for sprouting seedlings. When a seed first emerges from the soil, it has a set of two leaves called cotyledons. Once germination occurs, the new plant will gradually begin to emerge. How will I know if the plant is germinating? Press the compost down firmly and sow the seeds to cover the surface, aiming for a seed every cm. The seeds require very little nutrients for germination. It's easy! Fill a seed tray to a depth of about 5 cm with good organic compost.
