Hi, I have looked everywhere for a topic on what to do after your seedling sprouts.

I have a bunch of seedlings in a little mini greenhouse in the breakfast nook. My first seedling sprouted in 4 days (Citrus Hanayu). I then put the little starter pellet into my slightly larger seedling pot (12oz water bottle) and moved it outside. Where it immediately shriveled and died.

I can't remember if you are supposed to moved to a shady sunny spot in the house first, then to a shady spot outside next. Then to a sunny spot.

Two of my Bitrouni Lemon seeds just sprouted and I am looking forward to not killing them. Help!

You need to put them out in shade at first, then gradually move them to full sun. Try a week at a time.

Best thing to do is germinate them out in the sun to begin with.
