Pot Maintenance with Sarah Raven & Arthur Parkinson - Episode 25

When taking care of the beautiful congregations of colour at Perch Hill, it must be said that a wonderful team of keen, green-fingered folk are a helpful luxury that most at home won’t have when taking care of potted arrangements, so creating a maintenance schedule of sorts can be quite an art.

In this practical instalment of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’, Sarah & Arthur have a whole host of products, processes and priceless advice to perfect your preening, dead heading, watering and feeding. We also look at the best times to use a saucer under a pot (or when to avoid it), and Arthur’s affinity towards larger pots. 

In this episode, discover:

• The combined strengths of SB Invigorator as a feed and also combating mildew and aphids
• How to best treat your soil for feeding thriving plants
• Why Arthur is a champion of big pots over smaller ones, and his tips for carefully watering them
• Tips on using nematodes to keep vine weevils at bay
• Ideal times of year to use or avoid using saucers under plant pots
• A selection of scented varieties of Pelargoniums
