about 100 in small 9cm pots.How often should I water them? Do I need to
move them to larger pots? How often should I feed them? He did say to me
a couple of weeks past that the beginias were slow this year.Any help
will be
hugely appreciated.


Take a look at this page and the video, I know it's American but it's good
info and relates to the UK too.
White Flower Farm: The premier American source for plants, shrubs, bulbs, and gardening supplies delivered from our nursery to your home.
There are also other links there for more info.

Thanks guys for your help. I live a short drive away from my parent's home so its unlikely I can water the plants everyday,probably every couple of days.I used the hose as you suggested today..just a small trickle.That made
things a lot easier.I took a photo too.Will keep you posted
