Answering the one the frequently asked PMs.

When is my seedling ready to be transplanted?

1. Must have a thick main stem that is upright.

2. Must feature 4-6 true leaves. True leaf means leaves excluding the first pair called cotyledons.

Don’t water in the day of transplant. The plug will come off in full.

Dig a good hole that fits the entire plug and some more. The gait and standing on your plant depends on how you transplant it. Place it deep, firm, and straight.

Firm up the soil very well around the main stem. I build a little mound to support it.

Water immediately and throughly. Unless the air gaps are all filled up the roots can take hold.
