Joey, bought some Miracle grow today. It has to be mixed in a watering can. Would you still water the plants first before adding a bit of the mix to the pots?

NO - water the plants first - then add a heaped teaspoon full to you gallon can & then give them a good fill up with that solution if you put it on dry you will burn the roots or leaves of your plants, there should be a measuring spoon plastic inside the box if not a heaped tea spoon mixed well with a cane in a gallon can will be just right ;)

Joey, when I said the ‘mix’ I meant the contents of the watering can (the solution) not the chemical itself. All is good.

Thank goodness for that I have known people to put the stuff in the pots direct though hence my concerns.....they killed their planted pots .......

@Joey66 I’ve got a snapped branch off a plum tree with about 20 plums on it. Will the plums ripen if I stick the branch in a vase of water?

How big is the branch plus plums? If the plums are pig pick them and put them in a bowl on a sunny windowsill if the branch is to big .... no chance - if it is small put it in a vase of water out of the sun hoping the plums get bigger.....
Or Hold your plums :D

Yeah it’s a small branch. I’ve stuck it in water for now. Must have about 15 plums on it like. Plums look like they’d have ripened in a week. I like plums mate
