I was wondering if anyone else had the same observation as I have.
I use a soil that is specifically for germination (high sphagnum
moss content I think) and it seems to do a good job of germination
but then the seedlings seem to lack vigor. When I transplant the
seedlings into larger vessels with "regular" potting mix, the
plants suddenly become vigorous.

Anyone else have this experience?


I have noticed the same thing. I am guessing that the germination
soil has few if any nutrients since the seeds have everything they
need for germinating. What do "they" suggest, transplant when the
first set of true leaves appear?
