Seedling
I'm currently trying to grow 36 little Japanese Black Pine trees from seeds! I have them placed in the peat pellet 12 cell seed starting trays from Home Depot. 12 have sprouted well and have needles, 10 are just starting to pop up, and I think that the others won't every grow and need to be reseeded. The most developed ones have been sprouted and the needles have been separated from the seed husk for about a week. When should I transplant them to bigger containers?
What size should I use? I've been looking at small 2 inch and 4 inch pots. Should I take the tiny trees out of the peat pellet? Or should I just leave it and surround it in something like kitty litter and let the pellet break down on its own?
~Thanks for all of your help!~
