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
