<h3><span style=”font-size: 18pt;”><strong>What is Transplanting?</strong></span></h3>
<img style=”border-radius: 50px; padding: 2%; float: right;” src=”https://scarlet.instructure.com/courses/2516/files/472590/preview” alt=”A person transplants a seedling into an outdoor raised bed” width=”387″ height=”258″ data-api-endpoint=”https://scarlet.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/2516/files/472590″ data-api-returntype=”File” />
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Transplanting involves moving seedlings or small plants into larger pots or outside into a raised bed when they begin to get too large for their current growing space. Transplanting <span>allows a plant to continue growing to maturation and keeps the seedling from becoming <strong>pot-bound</strong>. Pot-bound plants have excessive root growth and lack adequate soil to provide oxygen, nutrients, and water. They have a higher chance of failure when planting in the garden due to the stressed root system.</span></span></p>
<h3><span style=”font-size: 18pt;”><strong>When and How to Transplant</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>When a seedling germinates, the first leaves to emerge are called <strong>seed leaves</strong>, or cotyledons. A <strong>monocot</strong> (monocotyledon) is a seedling with one seed leaf, like grass or onions. A <strong>dicot</strong> (dicotyledon) has two seed leaves, like kale, spinach, and lettuce. The leaves that emerge after the cotyledons are called <strong>true leaves</strong>. It is </span><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>recommended to transplant seedlings after 2-3 true leaves emerge and you have good root growth in your pot.</span></p>
<img style=”float: right; border-radius: 20px; padding: 1%;” src=”https://scarlet.instructure.com/courses/2516/files/472542/preview” alt=”Thermometer at 50 degrees F” width=”135″ height=”272″ data-api-endpoint=”https://scarlet.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/2516/files/472542″ data-api-returntype=”File” />
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>When deciding to transplant your seedlings, you want to consider the weather, as some plants will struggle in colder temperatures. Never transplant if temperatures are less than 50 degrees F or if the ground is frozen or frosty.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>You can make the transition smoother by putting the plants from the seed starting kit outside for a few hours at a time per day for a week leading up to the transplant. This process is called <strong>hardening off</strong>. This will help get the plants acclimate to the outdoor temperatures before they are moved outdoors permanently. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Watch the following video to learn more about the process of hardening off.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Once you are ready to transplant, prepare the transplanting site by smoothing out the soil, removing any rocks or plant debris, moistening the soil, and fertilizing as recommended. Water the plants in your seed starting kit before transplanting as well.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Start digging holes for your plants, making them slightly larger and deeper than the pot the seedling is currently in. </span><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>Each hole should be spaced appropriately, allowing enough space for your seedlings to thrive</span><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”> according to the directions on the seed packet. Remove the seedling, soil and all, from the pot and place it in the hole. Then cover all the roots with soil. Once all of the seedlings have been transplanted make sure you water your raised bed and each plant around its base. Use fertilizer per the directions on the package. </span></p>
