hey all! as some of you know.. i planted some seeds a couple of weeks ago... i didnt realize it then, but they are very concentrated and I am considering spreading them out. they are still very small.. like 1-2mm each, and I don't want to risk killing them since most have only been visible for 1-2weeks... how long should I wait to transplant them in order to thin them out?? thanks! *EQL*

You could just wait until they are just big enough to actually handle. I tend to be a bit ham-fisted when it comes to sundew seedlings and prefer to wait until they're actually crowding each other too much- by then they have some roots and all- when they first sprout, youreally only have one tiny root to work with and it can break pretty easily, but it's basically whatever you feel comfortable with, you CAN transplant them as soon as they sprout, it's just a bit tricky sometimes is all Hope that helps !!

what kind of sundews are they? If they are capensis or dielsiana...they are pretty rough...tehy can adpat pretty fast.

Again, you can move them whenever you like, but personally I'd wait til they have some roots, doesn't really matter what kind of sundews they are

Your best bet is to wait t'il there like a Cm or something because the root system is more develloped and has less risk of shock... Cya
