How big is the pot? If you are using a tiny pot for seed starting, then 10 is too many. Usually about three would do, and then pinch off one as they show their first true leaves (the first 鈥渓eaves鈥 are actually sort of baby leaves, called cotyledons, that develop with the seed. The next leaves that form are called 鈥渢rue鈥 leaves, and function slightly differently.) Since you have ten seedlings together, what you can do is either pinch off the weaker seedlings at the base (don’t pull them up, as they may injure the roots of other seedlings)—saving two healthy seedlings to grow in the pot. The other thing you might try is a little more risky — take a blunt pointed object, such as a dull pencil, to tease apart a seedling from the surrounding ones — be very gentle with the plant and at detangling its roots from the others; you don’t want to damage either seedling. Plant the seedling that you removed into another pot. Do the same for seven more seedlings if they look healthy, leaving two in the original pot, preferably undisturbed. The transplanted seedlings may recover enough from their move to continue growing. Good luck!
