![]() This assumes your temperatures outside are not very cold - you don't say where you are so I can't know what your weather is like. However, if you want to transfer them outside after thinning out, you will need to harden them off first, which means putting them outside (not in sun) for some hours during the day, then bringing them in overnight, extending the period outdoors over a few days until they are outside all night and can stay out there. The other problem is, the seedlings are not getting enough light - it does not have to be direct sun at this stage (in fact, direct sun on seedlings is likely to kill them) but they will do much better outdoors than inside they are leaning over to try to reach brighter daylight (not sun). Dill does not like root disturbance, so although you can attempt to replant those you sacrifice, they may not recover. A small children's paintbrush (using the solid end) or something similar can be useful for this. ![]() You can try just pulling out individual seedlings, otherwise, use something thin to lever out the ones you're removing without damaging the ones you're leaving. ![]() That means removing seedlings so that you finish with 4 inches of clear space around each one - ensure the soil in the pot is very damp before doing this. Each of your seedlings will want to grow that size, so it is obvious there are far too many seedlings in the pot, and they badly need thinning out. Thin out the seedlings when large enough. Sow the seeds thinly in 1cm (in) deep drills and cover lightly with soil. You don't say which variety of Dill you're growing, but common Dill makes a plant about 4 feet high with a spread of 2-3 feet or more if grown as a single plant. Choose a warm, sunny site with fertile soil. They are being grown indoors, placed near a window sill where the sun is direct during the morning hours.Īny advise on what the next steps should be will be greatly appreciated! Thank you! I have attached a picture of how they look currently. I am not sure if that is okay, or do I need to fix something in the pot (either more soil or separation of seedlings, etc). It has now been 2 days and these seedlings have not become completely erect yet.After all the seedlings were moved, I placed some soil (from the original plant) on top and watered it a bit.There were a few others which were transplanted individually (with roots and soil attached). While moving the seedlings, some of them were clumped together and were planted in the new pot in the same way (i.e., they were not separated before replanting).At this point, I transplanted the seedlings to a slightly bigger pot (with holes for drainage, used potting soil to fill the pot and watered the soil before moving the seedlings). ![]()
