  • After that you place your seedlings on your pot/seed tray.

 

  • Also you can add a sign by getting a thin stick, pen, and a white sticker. Just write the name of your seedling on the white sticker. Then stick the side of your sticker to the stick and slightly roll 1 end on to the stick. 

 

 

The purpose of doing this process is so when you want to move it to a bigger pot and or your bed for plants. The plant won’t be stressed. Because when a seedling becomes stressed, they can die. You can leave it in this ball until 1 week. After that you can place the entire ball and seedling in a bigger pot, or a bed for plants.
