Sorry I did not think to mention what they were.

You need to transplant the plugs immediately into a bigger container in general purpose compost or similar. Water them first. Push up from the bottom using finger/ pencil etc.

You don't need to use individual pots (but that would be ideal to minimise root disturbance later). I've got 10 plugs of geraniums in 1 big pot just to grow them on.

Haven't got space for 220 individual pots

Another batch of mine arrived yesterday from Parkers and they (120 geraniums) were far superior to the ones from Jersey Bedding Plants. Much easier to get out of the plastic tray and good roots formed.

I have never bought plug plants but fancy using them this year for hanging basket and tubs.

I have just been looking at a Jersey website - something like "Bloomingplants" which looked good (free postage).

However, I would be interested in the favourite suppliers used by the gardeners on this forum.

Van Meuwen are also quite good, I think they are just a different trading name of T&M. My main preference though is Jersey Plants Direct never had a problem with anything ordered.
