The Gardener's Almanac

Overview ;

Subject to the weather and the heating facilities you have, propagating tasks are more or less over for the current season.

 

Basically all that can be done now is look after any seedlings and cuttings you have propagated to date, and ensure that they are not subjected to sub zero temperatures.

 

Similarly; do not let them completely dry out, but equally, ensure that they do not become water-logged.
