“Hardening Off” Seedlings and Transplants
Seedlings need to be “hardened off.” Hardening off plants means
introducing them gradually to the outdoor envirement. The best
method to harden plants is to move them outdoors on a mild day.
Hopefully on a mild and cloudy one. Leave the plants in partial
shade protected from wind. Allow them more and more direct light
and wind each day. Thus they will become accustomed to their new
home and better take direct sunlight. After a week the plants
should be ready to be transplanted.
