How to Transplant Houseplants to Your Outdoor Garden

Gardeners often plant two seeds or more per container. "The extra plant is an insurance policy in case one seed doesn't sprout," Myers says. But if both seeds germinate, there's usually not enough room for both seedlings. As hard as it is, you have to sacrifice the weaker plant so the stronger one can thrive.

Wait until the stems have at least two sets of leaves before deciding which one to keep, Myers says. "Don't do anything until you have two true leaves." Then, clip the weaker one at ground level with scissors.

However, if the seedlings are far enough apart that the roots aren't entangled, you can move one to its own container until it's ready to be planted outdoors. "Use a kitchen fork to carefully lift and separate the plants with minimal impact to the roots," she says.
