| Except for my cyms (see Kmarch) I pack mine to the extent that they will stand by themselves and won't come out with a "gentle" tug. Another little trick I use is to initially place the plant low down in the pot. Fill with your mix, then lift and gently shake the plant a little, add more mix, shake and lift again. This has the benifit of getting your mix into and around your roots and doesn't break roots as much. When I get the plant to a height I like I tamp it down until the plant stands by it self. Works for me. |
