Question

Answer 1

In agriculture and gardening, transplanting or replanting is the technique of moving a plant from one location to another. Most often this takes the form of starting a plant from seed in optimal conditions, such as in a greenhouse or protected nursery bed, then replanting it in another, usually outdoor, growing location.

Transplanting has a variety of applications, including:

Extending the growing season by starting plants indoors, before outdoor conditions are favorable;

Protecting young plants from diseases and pests until they are sufficiently established;

Avoiding germination problems by setting out seedlings instead of direct seeding.
