Harden Off Seedlings Before Transplanting

5
  1. Solution: Gradually acclimate indoor-grown seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7-14 days.
  2. Explanation: Seedlings grown indoors are tender and not accustomed to direct sun, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Gradually expose them to outdoor conditions, starting with a few hours in a shaded, protected spot and increasing the duration and sun exposure daily before planting them in the garden.
  3. Notes: Prevents transplant shock, sunburn, and wind damage. Critical step before planting out.
