Now we have seedlings growing in our containers, not what? It is time to transplant seedlings.
- After the seedlings get their first set of true leaves (the first leaf set is called seedling leaves and will turn yellow and die). The true leaves are what the actual plant leaf will look like. Now it is time to transplant garden seedlings.
- Get your container which the little plants will go into. I have read about people using toilet tissue rolls, broken eggshells, and tin cans. Make sure the container has holes in the bottom. Fill with damp soil media and use a pencil poke a hole into the mix.
- Gently dig up your seedlings and separate them, then place one plant into the waiting container. If the weather does not cooperate, you can always transplant into a larger container. Do not use a big container to start will because this allows the soil to stay too damp.
- Water the new transplants from the bottom and place back under the lights or in a cold frame outside if the weather stays above 50 during the day.
