# I’m growing a pot of Tomatoes. But I ran into a problem, I planted…

I’m growing a pot of Tomatoes. But I ran into a problem, I planted too many seeds into one pot and they all grew, obviously… What do i do so it doesn’t become overcrowded.

Do I wait and then transplant the excess plants. Or do I get rid of excess?

I had the same problem!

Space a couple out in the pot and transplant the rest. They look happy in that pot right now so you could wait a couple days.

Thanks so much!! I’m just worried I might kill them in the process lol.

I’d let them grow 6-8” first

Thanks! I was wondering if I should wait until the roots developed more or not.
