Hi, Wesley!! I know some people leave several seedlings in a pot for a year or even 2 before separating them and potting them up. It is mostly a matter of personal likes or dislikes that dictate how you decide to do it. Myself, I put them in the bog garden or pot they will live in and keep distance between them, and let them grow any way they want to. Personal taste is what you will develop as you go along, and handle your plants in that manner. It takes a certain amount of instinct too to raise plants, as they don't read books and sometimes do things you are not ready for. If we could teach'em to read, they would act the way the book tells'em to. At the same time, we have this wonderful forum to ask questions, and formulate our own way of raising our babies. good growing!!
