Repot seedlings now or later?

Post by Ava »

I can't decide whether to repot these - opinions? :) Sorry for the poor quality picture.

Edit - accidentally clicked the 'solved' button - that really looks like a cog which usually leads to some kind of settings menu...

They don't need repotting yet, but are large enough to handle it well if you really want them in separate pots.

I've 'unsolved' it for you - you just click it again to toggle back. I agree, it's an unhelpful choice of icon!

Why not wait for a couple of months, the seedlings will have grown a bit more and the weather will be reliably warmer. If they look as if they need more space then re-pot them. They should grow away and put on sufficient growth to be able to survive the coming winter. If you do any sort of gardening you have to look forward to the next season and the one after that, to plan what to do with the plants you have and how they will fare further on.

Thanks, Phil!

I'll leave them as they are, then. Thanks for the replies.

I always find a nice pot of seedlings look really nice all together like that. When you split them up they tend to get lost with everything else and don't look quite as appealing.
