| Aug 1, 2022 at 1:37 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | There's also the possible issue (if you are an inexperienced gardener) of unintentionally damaging the plants when transplanting or repotting them, which has nothing to do with the size of pot they are going into or coming out of. That will cause transplant shock for any plant. Like any skil, it's one you can get better at with practice and education. | |
| Aug 1, 2022 at 1:26 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | What types of plants have you attempted? What size pots were they in, and what size pots did you move them to, and how long did you wait before declaring them not to be growing? Please edit to provide those details. Certain plants respond to transplanting (to any size pot, or the ground) by suffering a period of "transplant shock" until they recover. The main danger of "too large a pot" is human behavior (overwatering, commonly) rather than the plant "not liking it." Some plants will take time growing new roots that you can't see before they start putting on new top growth that you can see. | |

Responses to the question you’ve asked could fill a book. In your case, if you’re new to this, focus on one type of plant and learn from that. Select a plant you really like or need (for example lettuce or carrot or blueberries) and learn to grow that well, then use those learnings to grow other plants. Obviously you’ll need to adapt that over time as plants have vastly different needs depending on their climatic origin. I’d recommend permaculture and organic gardening principles as a good place to start. | |

How soon after germination do you plant the seedlings into larger pots (a good measure is number of permanent leaves on the seedlings)? | |
