This beginning gardener’s guide will share everything you need about safely transplanting your young plants to the cut flower garden.
WHEN TO TRANSPLANT - The instructions on your seed packet tell you to wait to transplant the seedlings after all danger of frost has passed.
1
Seedling size - The sweet spot for most flower seedlings is when they have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves.
2
hardening off - The “hardening off” process is crucial. This important step gradually acclimates your tender plants to outdoor conditions after being in their protective environment for so long.
3
watering - Providing your seedlings with a deep watering a day before the transplant will ensure they’re fully hydrated and prepared for the transition.
4
Find a spot - Choose a spot that accommodates the plant’s unique needs and matching them with the ideal conditions to thrive. Consider the sun requirements, soil type, and moisture level of each plant needs.
5
Weather - When picking a time to transplant your young seedlings to the garden, check the weather forecast for an overcast day with gentle temperatures.
6
soil - Prepare your garden bed’s soil with organic matter. This will improve soil structure, enhance nutrients, and boost moisture retention.
