I have a whole bunch of heathy sprouts in a couple of little pots. I‘m a novice/beginner when it comes to gardening. I‘m told that this is a rare variety hard to obtain seeds for. I want to keep each every sprout have them become their own plant. How do I this? Thanks.
Water them well, and have new pots ready for them with good damp soil don't be in the full sun.and keep them in filtered shade after repotting. Prick them out carefully by lifting with something like a dinner fork. Be as gentle as you can not to break roots, or bend or damage the stems. Fertilize with 1/2 strength miracle grow until around 6 inches tall then use stronger or tomato fertalizer pellets. Try not to let soil splash on their leaves as baby tomatos are prone to fungus.
let the soil in your pots dry to the point of crumbliness, then break the pots roots apart and quickly spread the seedlings on a wet towel and cover roots with another soaked towel while you transplant them one at a time into their own pots (preferably peat pots so you dont have to disturb roots again).put the transplanted pots in a tray and fill the tray with water (seedlings will take more soaking than plants in the field); you may lose some, but you should get a maximum survival this way.
should you had positioned the seedlings into peat founded pots to begin with, the will for re potting could now not come up. Re-potting can motive stem harm. Its all approximately root disturbance. Disturb the basis, and you are going to both kill th plant, or stunt the progress
