Potting On The Perennials Cuttings

 I started potting on twenty Osteospermums cuttings today.

I took them in Autumn and placed them in small plants with a very sandy medium mix.

Today I decided to pot them onto bigger pots full of homemade compost:

 

Roots growing through the plant pot drainage holes are a good indication that your cuttings have struck roots.
Osteospermums planted into a bigger plant pot.  I will overwinter them until the last of the frosts have gone.

Then I will attempt to sell them at carboot sales this summer.  I only charge two Euros fifty per plant.  

Anyone else make plants for an hobby?

    They look very strong plants, which hopefully will sell.

    Thanks Marlene. The gardens will have lots of colour if they don't sell. You can also grow them from seed.
