Manuka Seedlings

Back in summer we spent a couple of weekends making cuttings of manuka and planting them.  So now we need to pot them up. 
 
 
Most of them rooted it would seem, although lately they have begun dying off.  Definitely time to move them on then. Some of the seedlings were also grown from seeds, but we can't tell which are seed raised and which are cutting raised, so as an experiment, not so helpful.
 
 
We also are experimenting with pot types.  Here we've got plastic bags (cheap), paper mache type pots (expensive), and recycled plastic pots (free, but we've run out).  I've also seen a way of making newspaper pots that I'll try next time.
