I know you don't want to hear this, but you really need smaller pots for the seedlings.........those solo cups are wonderful unless you want to order the 1" pots.........they are cheap.......very cheap......I order them by the 100's just for starting new av leaves, strep leaves and potting up little african violets, seedlings,etc..........
