Managing Thousands of Drosera Seedlings: Transplanting Strategy

Wait for Size, Then Separate

With 2000+ seedlings in 12×8" trays, wait until they're larger to transplant—easier root separation, less damage. Some species (e.g., D. indica) don't transplant well. Use cell-plug trays with few seeds per plug next time to avoid this mess.
