How to Separate and Pot-Up Multiple Pepper & Tomato Plants with Tangled Roots: A Common Issue!

Sometimes we start too many pepper, tomato, and even eggplant seeds in one cell. The roots of multiple plants tangle and at some point they have to be separated and potted up. This is how I do it.

I love how concise and straight forward your videos are. Not a lot of BS, just great gardening information on every subject you’ve covered.

Thats my goal more facts than chattering away. I do repeat ideas though as this is a teaching channel. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

Thank you for proofing and correcting your video. So many don't and their videos end up poorly done or useless.

[@MyFirstVegetableGarden]

I try and catch them. If I dont, i sometimes will write in the correction. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

Great technique Gary. And now I am itching to get my seeds started. I need another 6-8 weeks yet. 😃

Can you separate and then plant into your earth bed? If not, how long should you wait to transplant after separating? Thank you!

[@fuzzytale]

Have you ever tried rinsing the starting mix off the roots, and if so did you get better results this way? I'm curious since I usually get a bucket of water next to where I'm potting up and rinse each plug until the seed starting mix rinses away, and then pot them up.

[@MyFirstVegetableGarden]

It works. I dont do it regularly. I found quickly getting them into the soil and watering well helps this method. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

I just did this with my peppers and tomatoes. Some of my tomatoes that were on the smaller side are wilting pretty bad and I was wondering what the best approach is (they’ve been wilted for about 24 hours now). I’ve been taking my plants outside during the day and bringing them in at night so they are used to the natural light. Should I keep doing this or should I leave them in a sunny room indoors until they come around? Hopefully that makes sense, thanks!

[@MyFirstVegetableGarden]

The can be in some shock. Just put them out of the light for a couple days. Dont add more water. Just let them be. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.
