Just received my baby plug plants and normally I would pot them straight away but as cold snap forecast could they be left in their plastic sleeves, watered and kept in light position? Help!
Can you pot them up then keep them indoors, or is that too much of a faff? They should be fine for a few days . l have kept them up to 5 days like that in the past, but you need to watch them like a hawk. What sort of plants are they ?
Baby plug plants. I wouldn't be doing anything except potting those on
Even hardy plants would be vulnerable if planted out just now if they're tiny. Have you got a photo? They'd be fine in what they've arrived in for a few days, but if they're healthy, a slightly bigger pots for each would be ideal.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks both. They are mainly petunia, impatiens, begonia, etc. tender plants. I have them in the utility at the moment with the plastic sleeves opened. Fingers crossed they will be ok.
