Transplanting Tip

Photo: Yarrow seedlings


There's one thing about transplanting of any kind of seedlings that's too often overlooked or not emphasized enough.

The fact is that all those tiny seedlings are fragile and the best way to transplant them is if we only handle them by their seedling leaves.

Avoid touching the stem as well as true leaves.

Remember, true leaves are shaped like the leaves of mature plant while seedling leaves are most likely oval (see photo above).
