transplanting question

Sup everyone, ive sucsefully germinatied my seedling and ive had them in seedling soil for about 8-9 days now. im rdy to replant them to 1 gallon pots, but i jus wana make sure i dont do anything wrong.

thier roots are in the soil in my cups, so to replant them do i jus pull them out the cups and put them in pots?
and is it dangerous to transplant them wrecklessly?

thx in adavance

You're gonna wanna slide the entire ball of roots/soil out in one piece and put it in a pre-dug hole in the new pot. If you do it this way, there will be nothing to worry about.

thx GS, i attempted that and for 3 outa 5 of them it went smoothly. but for 2 of them the soil/roots broke up as i was holding it, so i tried to replant it as fast as possible but the plant now is leaning to the side.
Have i damaged it beyond saving?

Did you break a lot of the roots? If not, you'll be fine. Also, you watered very, very well after transplanting, yes? That's a MUST.

You can push the soil so that you right the plant, and then just fill in the low spot.

yes i watered vigoursly after transplanting, i grabed and ed as much of the clumps of seedlingsoil/roots and put them in a pre dug hole in 6" pots.
im still a lil worried about them, ill be checking them later on.
thx sea

If they're not wilted by now, they're golden. Until something else happens.
