Joseph: I'm not sure who said that transplanting young cyclamen seedlings is a problem. We transplant nearly 1000 yearly at the one leaf stage into cell packs. Our survival rate is very close to 100% and they grow off much quickly when transplanted young. For us, seed germinate in Dec/Jan and are transplanted usually about 4-6 weeks after germination. Many flower this way in 12-18 months. I hope this helps.

I had about 90% germination and the small plants are about 1" apart. It is a winter/spring growing species. I have since learned that the seed should have been sown in individual containers because they are difficult to transplant. Should I attempt to transplant now even though they will be going into dormancy in about a month or so? Or should I wait until they are actually completely dormant to transplant? Thanks, Joe Kraatz
