How to transplant seedlings

1Transplant before the last frost. If the planting time is right, the seeds should have grown a set of mature leaves by now and have reached the conditions for transplanting; the transplanting time is usually before the last frost. Transplantation months usually vary depending on the region. If you're not sure when frost will occur, check with your local gardener!
2Locate the container in a sheltered outdoor area. A few days before you are ready to transplant, place the container in an outdoor grow box. This allows them to adapt to the outdoor environment. Without this transitional stage, the seeds may not be able to withstand it.
- If you don’t have a ready-made outdoor growing box, you can make one yourself. Let the seedlings have sunlight during the day and put them in a cardboard box to avoid wind and cold at night.
- Of course, you can also lower the room temperature to match the outdoor temperature; the same can be achieved.
3Prepare according to the needs of the plantPlanting beds. Growing beds should be placed in a location with suitable light and shade. The soil should have the right pH and be rich in nutrients. Also make sure it drains well.
4Plant the seedlings into the ground. Follow the instructions on the seed packet and dig the hole to the appropriate depth. Make sure the pits are properly spaced so that the plants have room to live. Carefully lift the seedling out of the container, gently separate the roots, and move it into the hole. Water, fertilize, and provide conditions suitable for their growth.
5You're done!
