kawaiineko: You're on the right track keeping up with the weather & knowing that the plants can be aggravated when they're potted up, but that it helps them. I transplant mine either once or twice, depending upon start date. I start the seeds in whatever container (3 inch square pots this year with Pro Mix Seedling Mix) & keep them in there until they get rootbound (if using pellets or something smaller, transplant them earlier). At that point, in the past, i'd move them from the cell/pellet/etc. into 16-20 oz plastic cups which hopefully last until they go in their final homes. Trick is to only transplant when they get rootbound cuz it's much harder then to distrub them. They may very well still "stall" growth for a week or so after a potting up, but don't worry about this, they are growing where you can't see (roots) at that time. They'll take back off. Anyway, all this usually takes up about 2 months until they just have to go into their final homes. Hence, 2 months from last frost date here, which is the middle of February (ish). Hope this helps. :) - Steve

Awwww how cute! Look at them all, so little :-D Id say let them be until they get bigger, I'm sure in nature They ALL grow closely together anyways.

Hi Jane, thanks for responding. Here in Jamaica plastic pot are easily accessible, but small clay ones are almost non existent. , as for basket still a problem large ones yes small one . Hardly ever I am trying to use clear plastic ones which I ordered from repot me.com. I am out of small ones now. So I guess I will just have to use the 4" green one. And yes I use charcoal and stones for my dens and catts I realize I do much better with them in that mix because of my heavy hand watering. So your saying repot them? Thanks. Velleta

"My question was more about whether or not it was a good idea to keep them in the cell pack for another week or to go ahead and transplant sooner than prefferable." In that case it may well depend on what size cell pack they are in and long they have been in the size. Especially the bok choi that has so many true leaves. Can you lift one out of the cell pack and see how root bound they are? If so. is it possible to move them into slightly larger containers before you leave so that they can better survive until the proper planting time? As a very general guide, when buying cell packs well before transplanting time it is always beneficial to get them out of the cell packs and into small individual pots. Dave PS: when dealing with questions about plants that will be apparently un-attended how they will be watered is always the first question asked. So if that isn't going to be an issue its best to provide that info up front :-).
