How to Pot Sunflower Seedlings: A Gardening Tutorial

Hi everyone, today I'm out in the greenhouse transplanting my sunflower seedlings into their own individual pots, I'm trying to get as many people growing as possible so I thought I'd do a beginners guide to transplanting sunflower seedlings.
I hope you new gardeners out there find this video helpful.
Thanks for watching.

Thank you for this! My daughter came home with a sunflower seedling from pre-school a couple of weeks ago and I had no clue what to do with it. Now we can keep it growing and she is very happy!

That’s great, good luck with your sunflowers.

Just replanted my sunflowers 🌻yesterday seedlings 🌱 are smaller though so I put two in one… in each corner.. I will let them grow for 3 weeks and will do a final transfer on my Garden Bed

thank you so much for this. I recently planted a sunflower seed just for fun to see if it would grow and it did! But i put it in a way to small pot so seeing this video i know now that it wont hurt the plant to pot the seedling. :)

Howdy Kit!👋 Nice looking sunflower plants. Sweet that you are bringing up little gardeners. 🙂

[@GrowWithKit]

Thanks Valorie, my eldest daughter helped me pot on the first tray, I need to try get the kids more involved in growing.

Today is the 5th of May but a year later. The algorithm works in mysterious ways.

how tall would you have them before you pot them out into the garden?

[@tomoliverminta]

If they go leggy could you plant them a bit deeper but still below the bottom leaves?

i am getting ready to start a garden with my 8 year old daughter because she has been very interested in gardening. i know nothing when it comes to this. is there a reason you cant plant the sunflower straight outside in their final place? isit necessary to first plant it in a pot then later plant it into the garden?

[@GrowWithKit]

Yes you can plant directly but there’s a good chance the seed will get eaten by something. Good luck with your garden.

@@GrowWithKit antibird net is your friend here. I don't trust myself with transplanting seedlings after my first ever set of seedlings died following it.

[@johnduffy1925]

Do you not have to support them with a stake 🤔

[@walkedawayjoe]

I put my question in the wrong video i want to know when exactly do i transfer the sunflower outside?

[@palliaskamen5722]

I would wait until the seedling is at least 8" or when you see the roots protrude from the holes in the bottom of the pot

[@iceceam159]

What do i if the leafs are brown or yellow

[@Biggregdxb]

Did they grow backwards in time? You say you sowed them on the 14th of April and its now the 5th of March?? :)

[@GrowWithKit]

😂 I meant to say 5th May, I did add a note to the video.

[@Biggregdxb]

@@GrowWithKit :) was a good upload though, no offense meant, these things happen 😏

[@GrowWithKit]

Thanks Gregory, none taken mate. All the best 😊🌱

[@celiaalfaro]

How tall do they get before you transplant them outside?

[@GrowWithKit]

Hi Celia, I did a separate video of planting them out, they were about 1ft tall but it really depends on the weather. You can actually plant them out when you like or even sow your seeds directly. I’ll put a link below for the planting out video. Planting out Giant Sunflowers | Trellis Support kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5ObooxjrK6UoMU
