11. When should I transplant seedlings into vegetable tower holes?
Transplant when seedlings have 2-3 true leaves and are 3–4 inches tall. This usually takes 15–25 days after sowing.
12. What’s the best time of day to transplant seedlings?
Early morning or late afternoon is ideal to reduce transplant shock and allow seedlings to settle without heat stress.
13. How do I prepare seedlings for transplanting?
Harden them off by placing outside in partial sun for 2–3 days before transplanting. Water well before removal from nursery tray.
14. Can I transplant directly from seed trays into tower holes?
Yes. Gently loosen roots, keep the soil plug intact, and plant into moist tower holes without damaging roots.
15. What distance should I maintain between transplants in vertical towers?
Since tower holes are fixed, only plant one healthy seedling per hole to prevent overcrowding.
16. Should I add any nutrients during transplanting?
Add a pinch of vermicompost and neem khali in the planting hole. Avoid strong fertilizers at this stage.
17. Why are my transplanted seedlings wilting?
Common reasons: transplant shock, insufficient watering, too much sun immediately after transplanting, or root damage.
18. Can I transplant leafy greens?
Yes, but they generally do better with direct sowing. If transplanting, do it early (10–12 days) when roots are still tender.
19. How do I handle leggy or tall seedlings before transplanting?
Plant them slightly deeper in the tower hole. Remove the lower leaves if needed and cover up to the next leaf node.
20. What to do after transplanting seedlings in towers?
Just taking care of plants, watering regularly, updating Veg Roof Support Team on relevant whatsapp groups. If anything to ask, whatsapp your plant's videos at 9220514400.
