Plug Plants by Post: Everything You Need to Know

Plug plants are a gardener’s best friend—compact, healthy, and ready to grow. If you’re looking for an easy way to start your garden, plug plants delivered by post are a convenient and cost-effective option. In this guide, we’ll answer common questions and share expert tips to help you get the most out of your plants.

What Are Plug Plants?

Plug plants are young plants grown in small cells or trays, designed to establish quickly when transplanted. They’re ideal for:

• Bedding plants
• Vegetables
• Herbs

Plug plants offer a head start compared to growing from seed, saving you time and effort.

Can You Put Plug Plants Straight Into the Ground?

Yes, you can—but keep these tips in mind:

• Check the weather: Avoid planting during frost or extreme heat.
• Prepare the soil: Loosen and enrich with compost for better root development.
• Water well: Consistent moisture is essential during the first few weeks.

For best results, harden them off by placing them outdoors for a few days before planting directly into the ground.
