I took a cutting about 3 weeks ago and put it in water,it has now loads of very fine hairs about half an inch long can i pot it out yet,thanks.
Keith.

Hi Keith,
You can pot it into soil/compost etc. and it should be fine. Give it a mist with water regularly and best to keep it out of strong direct sunlight until its roots are more developed – another week should do it.
Best wishes,
Nick

Hi Nick iv’e got 3 hens i save all the waste and composed it down is it ok to mix with water to use as a feed.
Nick
Hi Kevin,
Sounds good to me – if your plants become a bit too leafy you may need to ease-off a bit and mix in some ordinary multi-purpose compost.
Regards,
Nick
