Apply a fine spray of water to avoid washing the seed, causing them to float to the soil surface. Use tweezers to pinch off unwanted seedlings rather than pulling them, to avoid disturbance of the remains seedlings. If seeds were planted in larger containers, transplant into individual peat pots or other small containers. This method, however, makes inefficient use of seed and space. Water seedlings carefully.
Small containers used for starting plants dry out quickly.
On the other hand, soil kept soaking wet will inhibit seedling growth and may kill the plants. At the same time, reduce water to minimum as long as plant do not wilt. This will help the plants adjust to full exposure without undergoing undue shock at planting time.
