Default Key lime seedlings...transferring

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question. I planted 24 key lime seedlings into my heated propagator. They had been sent in the post and had been in dry compost for about a week. Strangely, every single one of them germinated in a couple of weeks. I didn't expect even a tenth of them to do so!

They are about 2 months old now and several inches high. They are still living in the propagator. When would it be reasonable to move them from their current location? I have root trainers to put them into, but I am very conscious of the time of year and the dangers associated with transplanting. I am just worried that by the time spring comes around (end of April over here by the time frosts pass) They will have gotten all of their roots tangled. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
