This slows down growth and can cause puzzling deficiencies! So if you do start in small containers it’s important to transplant your seedlings on time to avoid letting them become rootbound! If seedlings get too big for their cups before transplanting to a bigger container, you may accidentally limit your plant’s root space. If you start seedlings in a solo cup, you should try to transplant to a bigger pot around the time the leaves reach the edges of the cup. It also makes it more difficult to overwater your plants! The growing medium dries out much faster in a smaller container, which means your seedling roots are always getting access to lots of oxygen at all times.
