My pot failed but ...

I sowed seeds back in August 2009 and while weeding the pot today realised there are many seedlings up and have their first true leaf already. Do I have to give them good light now?

I'd be putting these into individual pots (90mm) at this stage, for the nursery.

I have many Pulsatilla pratensis ssp bohemica seedlings coming back in to growth. I'm surprised how many have some up because their leaves were killed off by the hard frost and snow in November. Sadly more than half have died over winter.

What is the best mix to pot them on in to?

I'm curious to hear the answer on Mark's question above, as I'm about to repot my one year old plants (P. patens)!!!

I just use a fairly gritty mix - whatever the local garden centre has in the way of John Innes type with some flint chicken grit mixed in.

Thanks Gail, I'll add more grit and reduce the sand.
