Pot size for Laurus nobilis seedlings.

Gautama

I planted a number of Laurus nobilis seeds in the autumn in a rectangular seed tray, and so far about 10 of them have germinated. The seedlings vary in height from 2cm to 10cm and need to be potted up.
I intend to transplant each seedling into its own separate pot but I'm wondering what is the best size at this time? 10 cm pots?

a 10 cm pot should suffice but grow them in a plunged (pots buried in soil up to the brim) to prevent drying out. Keep in a cool shady position.

it is not a question of 10 is right and 9 is wrong , rather it is my considered opinion but I was anxious to convey the idea of plunging the pots of slow growing specimens. I like the bit of humour and as is a forum everybody is entitled to their opinion. Where plenty answers are offered I rarely reply but when a difficult one arises and I think I can help then I put in a comment.
