How To Grow
Average pest and disease resistance
Pelargoniums can be susceptible to certain pests and diseases, including grey mould, rust, thrips, vine weevil larvae damage, leafhopper, and whitefly.
Water moderately
Pelargoniums don't require a huge amount of watering, so water only in moderation during spring and summer, and sparingly in winter.
Full sun to partial shade
Pelargoniums are best suited to sunny spots, with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Fertile, moist, well-drained soil
Plant your pelargonium in fertile, neutral or alkaline soil that's free-draining, as they don't like to have their roots become soggy or waterlogged.
Feed regularly
In spring, use a liquid fertiliser on your pelargonium every two weeks. When flowers develop, switch to a fertiliser with a higher potassium content, and continue feeding every 14 days throughout summer.

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.
David Osborne
Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
