Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Seed time again..., 1 by Clare_CA

Hi Kaleem, those seedlings a little bit small for three-year-olds, and it is possible that they may be stunted in their containers. I would repot them to bigger containers if you can or put them in the ground in a protected spot. You can plunge them also. Try to fertilize well and often if possible. Here is a picture of some of my seedlings that were plunged. These were two-year-olds at the time. I'd say you have another year at least of growth on yours before they bloom.

Edited to add: Also, if more than one seedling is sharing a pot, I would separate them and give them each their own pot. Seedlings need a lot of room in the roots to grow into before they can become flowering trees.
