How to Use

First, put on a pair of gloves and rework the compost between your hands, so that it regains its intended texture. Then you’re all set.

Planting Bulbs Indoors

• Select large, clean healthy-looking bulbs for the best results. Place some Westland Bulb Planting & Potting Mix in the bottom of a clean container.
• Place the bulbs on this firmly, ensuring that they are pointing upwards.
• Add more bulb planting compost so that only the bulb tips can be seen above the surface. Place container in a cupboard, or anywhere that is cold, airy and dark. Examine the container regularly to ensure that it does not dry out.
• Water as necessary.
• Once the shoots have reached a height of 1-2” move the container to a light and cool room or porch (10ºC or 50ºF). Move the container again into a warmer room once the shoots have become fully green. Ensure that the container is kept away from both excessive heat sources and draughts.
