After pricking off the seedlings, keep the compost lightly moist. When leaves touch, plants to be grown as summer-flowering bedding plants can be acclimatized to outdoor conditions, then planted in beds when all risk of frost has passed.

Plants to be grown as houseplants will need repotting, as described below.

1. Water the compost. When drained, use a small fork to remove the plants.

2. Fill a clean pot with potting compost and lightly firm. Hold a plant by its stem and check that it is at the same depth as before (see the dark line on the stem); trickle and firm the compost around the roots.

3. Add and firm further compost; check the surface is 12 mm (½ in) below the pot’s rim. Water the compost from above and place in gentle warmth until established.
