    had my lavender germinated for about 3 or 4 weeks now and they have about 6 leaves on them. is now the time for pricking out and re-potting?? should i wait a while longer?? they still look really small and fragile but i dont want to over crowd the pot. i have about 10 in there and obviously dont need them all, but was going to pass a few on. :-D

    Hi Luke, Personally, I have better results with the "smaller the plant" when transplanting. I grew some lavender last year and it was pretty small when I transplanted it. (It grew just fine). As the plants grow the roots become intertwined and they tend to get broken if you wait until they are larger, before trying to separate them.
