Remove plants by gently pushing on the sides and bottom of the compartment. Try to plant as soon as possible after purchasing. Plants allowed to sit around may be damaged by sun or dryness and may not recover. Tear off the top of peat pots or bury them completely at planting time. If any of the peat pot sticks out of the soil it acts like a wick and dries out the rest of the pot.
Roots have a difficult time getting through the dry, brittle peat.
Set plants at the same level they were growing at in the flat or container. Some individual plants have deeper planting depths suggested. Once the plants have been set they need water. Bleached leaves on newly planted transplants indicates insufficient hardening off. This information is for educational purposes only.
