So it was time to put them into pots.
Nothing technical - fill a pot with soil, leave about 1cm or so at the top. Poke your finger right down to the 2nd knuckle.
Separate the seedlings gently, generally I stick a finger in the soil adjacent to them and lift them out from the side, this supports the roots a bit, they don't have much root at this stage but what they do have is typically very deep, usually all the way to the bottom of the tray. This is why you need to poke a hole very deep into the plant pot!
I bury the stalks about 3/4 inch in too. Mostly for aesthetics but it might also help them grow upright better.
All done! :)
Remember to label every single pot!
