I have never had any problems transplanting Morning Glories. The only problem I have is if I accidentally break the vine, but no problem as far as actually moving the plants. Many times I start my seeds in flats and space my germinated seeds a couple or so inches apart until they have a couple or more sets of true leaves. When I am ready to plant them in the ground, I gently scoop them out with a fork. I also give them a feeding of weak fish emulsion when I plant them, and about a week later a feeding of regular mixed fish emulsion.

When I germinate my VERY RARES, I do plant them in individual Styrofoam cups as Arlan and others do. If I only grew a few MG's, I'm sure I wouldn't plant them as I do now in a flat, but when you plant LOTS of MG's, who has the time to mess with hundreds of Styrofoam cups -when I can transplant them with no problems.

I also many times plant about 4 germinated MG seeds in a 5” container until they are ready to go in the ground that works great too.

Just sharing what I do so those who think that Morning Glories can not be transplanted will know that THEY CAN.
