Transplant shock

I always used to transplant without disturbing the roots and the plants always seemed to wilt for a few days then bounce back. This year I will fluff the roots when I plant. I guess I see if they respond differently.

I couldn’t wait to get some peppers in the ground, so I found some scotch bonnets and jalapeño plants. The weather was cool and cloudy, kinda rainy. I fluffed the roots when I planted them. This morning they were still standing good, not droopy.

I didn't notice much if any shock last year. A few seedlings from CCN but not all. My own seedlings i gave some homemade kelp "juice" and they thrived almost immediately after up potting.
