Never planting seeds before I planted 3+/- seeds per spot just to be sure I had at least one or two in there. I’m trying to create a fence row so I figured if I had a couple coming up it would make a fuller bush.
Should all three survive in one spot or should I thin them to only one? Is there a way to take them apart and create other plants so I have one per pot or are they too young and that’ll kill them?
When separating always work the smallest one out first. They have much less roots and come out much easier with little root damage while leaving less roots to fight against to get the next smallest one next.
They will likely form natural root grafts if you don’t separate them, and will share nutrients rather than competing, so they should survive fine.
I would simply pinch off, at or slightly below the surface, all but the largest seedling per container, no need to try pulling; that will only disturb and damage the roots. Feijoa seeding is known to be easy; only 1 or 2 seeds per container will work.
Do you think they will live if I separate them and pot each in a new container? If, so how tall should they be when I split them? They are 1" tall now.
I split up my jujube seedlings when I find them together. Most of the time it works well. I don’t know how fragile the PG seedlings are but I’ve done veggies the same way.
Experiment with a couple via separation method. A week or two should show success or failure.
