When you transplant it, ya want to make sure the soil is dry. This makes it easier to handle, plus your going to water it anyway after the transplant. (to help keep the stress level down.)
I usually prepare my new container by adding the soil to it around an empty cup (the same size the seedling's in)
When I'm ready to transplant, I remove the empty cup and use the hole to plant in.
RAINHAZE Reviewed by RAINHAZE on . When to transfer from cup to pot? (seedling) I have a seedling about 4 days old. It has 'stunted growth' from the last day or two and the first two point leafs are starting to come in. **My question is when do I know/how do I know when it is time to transplant the seedling from the plastic cup into a medium/small sized pot?** ->Have been watering with 2-4 sprays from a spray can of filtered,room temp water, that has been sitting out in a closed container.
