Pricking Out Seedlings

When your seedlings have two or more sets of leaves and are large enough
to handle it's time to give them more room to grow.Step 1
Water the seedlings an hour or so before pricking out to make the roots easier to separate.
Always handle seedlings by a leaf, never by the fragile stem that is so easily damaged.
Step 2
Gently tease the seedlings from the compost with a dibber or even a kitchen fork.
Replant them into small individual modules or four or five to a flowerpot filled with Seed & Cutting Compost or John Innes No 1.
