Subscribe/Renew Journal
Potting: Potting refer to transferring of plants from seedbed and planting them in pots containing soil mixture.
Select a well-burnt pot giving metallic sound. Place a large crock to a 3-5 cm sized depending upon the size of pot. This forms the drainage layer. Finally, the crocks are covered with a 1.25 to 2.5 cm. layer of coarse sand or dried leaves about 6 cm. thick to prevent washing away of fine soil to the drainage hole or clogging it. Then fill the pot firmly with soil mixture leaving a 1.5 cm. of space is left on the top for holding water. The pot filled as above can be used for sowing seeds, potting of plants or planting cuttings.
