I didn't know how to contact anyone through your website. I have started some basil seeds in starter pods (those round things that when put in water expand to about 6 times their origional size). I have 2 seedlings in each and each seedling has two leaves on it. What do I so about replanting? They don't seem to be doing anything right now and they are still in their "greenhouse" (a plastic croissant box). Should I replant them in containers yet?Those two leaves you see are what botanists call the "cotelydons" and they will be replaced by subsequent sets of leaves that will take on more of the shape of the mature plant. Basil can be tranplanted at the cotelydon stage, but we recommend to wait until the seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves.
