Swan River Daisy- what to do with seedlings
By Bryony
United Kingdom
Hi, this is question from a total beginner. I have sown some Swan River Daisy seeds in a tray and they have all germinated a lot more quickly than was stated on the packet. I believe I have sown too many as the tray is packed full of little seedlings which seem to fragile to move right now. So my question is how should I handle these seedlings now? If I move them to a seed tray with cells, how many would I want per cell? Or should I just leave them to grow together densely? Thanks for any help.

Thanks Volunteer and Sewingkilla, I really didn't know what to do. I will wait before moving them then, and offer the others up for adoption.

This is a common problem, if you only sow a few, none come up!! You must prick them out as soon as they have a second pair of leaves showing. I would only put one in each module as you will get bigger, better plants that way. It is a false economy to put 2 or more in. You could give away the remainder or take a deep breath and compost them. Or keep some in the pot until your transplanted ones are growing well....just in case.
