I hope you're having a great time.<BR/><BR/>As for the hydrangea, if you've got a good root system and it's starting to put out new growth on top, it probably could be transplanted. I can't tell from the picture how big the plant really is, but I tend to let things settle in in their pots for a good while until they're well past the "toddler" stage. No sense in stressing them out by transplanting until they're as strong as possible. However, I do like to move the pot to the spot where I plan on planting it and just letting it sit there for a while to get the plant used to the light, wind, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683254145775608514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-1153932960589921292006-07-26T17:56:00.000+01:002006-07-26T17:56:00.000+01:00Yay for the hydrangea! :) I would probably pot i...Yay for the hydrangea! :) I would probably pot it up about now--you can cut the plastic bottle away from the seedling if you need, to get it out.<BR/><BR/>I've never rooted hydrangeas, but one thing that I found when moving water-rooted things into dirt in general is that I've had to keep them fairly wet for a while. If you gradually let them get used to being drier, they're less likely to croak on you... I guess the water-roots have to adjust or something?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.com
