Grafted Vegetable Plants

Grafted vegetable plants are a favourite of both commercial and home vegetable growers. The vigorous rootstocks provide a strong foundation, allowing the plants to absorb more nutrients and water. This results in faster growth and a bigger, higher-quality harvest. Many grafted plants also boast superior disease resistance.

You can grow grafted vegetable plants in greenhouses, gardens, and containers (12 litres or bigger). If using a grow bag, plant a maximum of two plants per bag. Keep the grafted union above the soil level to stop suckers and adventitious roots from developing. Please note – do not remove the plastic grafting clip. It will fall off naturally as the plant grows.

We recommend feeding your plants from when the first flower buds appear. Use a plant fertiliser with high levels of potash and feed once a week, increasing to twice a week when the plant is cropping well. Most grafted plants will need some support as they grow, especially aubergine plants and tomatoes.
