I have 10 seedlings growing in plastic cups. I'm worried that when I transplant that I might damage the roots. Can I just cut off the bottom of the cup and stick the whole cup in the soil, or do I have to take them out of the cup? Last year I started some in pots and when I transplanted them I just grabbed the plant, and the whole plant, dirt and all ,just came right out of the pots, which made it easy to do, but they had been in the pots a lot longer than the ones I have now in the plastic cups. I'm afraid I'll ruin them if I try to scoop them out. THANKS.
