New to buying seedlings? Here's Henri's top tip for what to look for to ensure you get the best plants.

Look for individual root systems

The stronger your seedlings' roots are, the more likely they are to grow well.

Not sure how to tell if the seedlings your buying have individual root systems? Any seedlings packaged in plastic containers with little dividers will have their own root systems. Watch out for the ones with a whole lot of seedlings tangled together in one pot - their roots will break when you pull them out, which means not many will grow well.

Because we only use recycled newspaper and biodegradable packaging, our containers don't have dividers. But we guarantee all our seedlings have strong, healthy, INDIVIDUAL root systems - see the picture for proof.

As a final check - when you pull the seedlings out of their packaging you won't need to break apart the plants if they have their own root systems - they will already be separated.
