Separate seedlings
As soon as the roots of the seedlings have developed vigorously, it is time to repot. Both frost-sensitive and hardy species should grow in a pot for a few weeks before planting them outdoors. Here the plants have enough time to develop a strong root ball and strong shoots.

Repot properly
Prick out the grown young plants by removing strong and healthy specimens with a stick from the Sowing soil to fetch. Use a plastic pot for each seedling and fill it with a mixture Potting soil and sand.
Herbs and vegetables grow in special soil from the garden market that is low in nutrients. This animates the plants to form roots. Put the young plants in the substrate and press it down well. After a thorough watering, the pots move to a bright and warm place.
Tips
Coconut sticks prove beneficial in this step. A seedling grows in each tab, which does not have to be pricked out, but is potted together with the substrate.
Plant young plants
If the young plants are to grow in the pot, the time of year does not play a major role in potting. In the case of frost-sensitive plants, planting outdoors should only take place after the ice saints in mid-May. More robust varieties can migrate into the bed earlier.
Get the plants used to the outdoor climate
Getting used to the conditions in the garden takes place from April. Put the plant pots during the day in a mild climate in a sheltered place on the balcony or terrace. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it will cause burns. Gradually increase the standing time until the vessels are permanently outside. The plants are then allowed to move into the bed.
