If you need a visual example of what it looks like to harden off your baby plants, check out this video!

A quick look at hardening off your little plants.

Q: Why harden off transplants?

A: Baby plants, or transplants, need a chance to adapt to harsh outdoor conditions including:

  • Sun

  • Heat

  • Cold

  • Wind

Q: How do I harden off my baby plants?

A: Over 7-10 days, gradually add more time outdoors with more sun and wind exposure until they stay outdoors for a full 24 hours. If they make it looking healthy, go ahead and plant!

P.S. We’re still learning how to make videos! Gotta start somewhere, right?
