Do I need to re-pot my crowded seedlings? was created by GimmeTheLoot

Posted 6 years 5 months ago #48736
My Mountain Pine (Pinus Mugo Pumilio) seeds germinated a few weeks ago (apart from one straggler who I only noticed yesterday!) but due to more seeds germinating than I had expected they're now bunched together in quite a small pot. I've taken a picture to show how cramped they are and as you can see there are five seedlings in one pot and three in the other.

I'm wondering whether I should separate them into individual pots now or let them mature bit first?

If I should separate them then what sort and size of pot should I put them in?

Thanks in advance!

I would let them get stronger first.

Do you have these outside in full sun? (They should be unless you are in a very hot (tropical) area)
