Default Potting up...

Should I pot up Tomatillos? I'm growing Cossack's Pineapple and the seedling seem VERY small. Like too small to handle. Do I need to do this?
I started alot of seed and plan on growing two plants. Should I break the cell pack in half, pot up, and just snip the ones I don't want?

Thanks,

Greg

They are tough little buggers - I had 40 in one small cell, divided them up into 40 4 inch pots even when tiny, and expect them all to make it - they are really as tough as weeds!

The other thing you can do - pot up a couple (break them off from the edge, including the roots of course) and plop the rest into a 3 inch pot just in case you need them (if the ones you transplant pass away!)

I am growing tomatillo seedlings as well. Mine are so tiny and tall and look so fragile so nice to know they are stronger than they look. Kinda like me!

Mine don't have any true leaves so should I wait to pot them up?

Cheers!

Hmmm... I to will be needing to know this soon enough - those little Cossack Pineapples were slower to start but now they are coming on...

I potted up my tomatillos about 2 weeks ago, they weren't very big (just one set of true leaves) they are chugging along just fine.
