How We Transplant Vegetable Plugs

• arclein

Handle your plugs with care when you transplant. They are delicate, and you can damage the stems or pull out the roots, setting back or permanently damaging the plant. The best way is to pull them gently where the leaves meet the stem, without applying too much pressure. Stems are responsible for the movement of fluids through the plant. In general, a good stem means a good plant. If you squeeze too tightly you'll harm the stem, so work slowly and carefully until you develop a knack for handling your plugs.
