2. Level and Firm: Level and gently firm the mix.
3. Seed Placement: Space seeds as directed.
4. Cover and Water: Lightly cover with a thin layer of Seed Raising Mix. Water with a fine mist to avoid dislocating seeds.
5. Positioning: Place in a lightly shaded or dappled sun position. Cover fine seeds with glass or plastic for consistent temperature and moisture.

Propagating Cuttings

1. Prepare Mix: Fill a pot or tray with moist Yates Seed Raising Mix.
2. Select Cuttings: Choose fresh cuttings from healthy plants.

4. Enclose and Maintain: Water well, and enclose in plastic or glass to maintain humidity and warmth. Avoid the cover touching leaves.
5. Positioning: Place in a warm, well-lit area (avoid direct sun). Keep moist but not wet.
