Step 2: Transplanting Process

Follow these steps to transplant bok choy seedlings:

Gently remove the seedlings from their original containers, being careful not to damage the roots.

Make holes in the prepared soil or container, spaced at least 6-8 inches apart, to accommodate the seedlings.

Place each seedling into a hole, ensuring that the roots are spread out and not cramped.

Gently fill the hole with soil, pressing it down lightly to secure the seedling in place.

Water the transplanted seedlings immediately after planting to help settle the soil and provide hydration.
