Avoid purchasing plants that have yellow leaves. A telltale sign that a transplant has used up all its nutrients is yellowing or small, stunted leaves. ![]() Transplants should be in nutrient-dense medium that allows them to thrive until their time to be transplanted. The transplant should have green foliage, from top to bottom. If you see more roots than soil, that means it's root-bound and probably very stressed. If you see a few circling, white roots, that's perfect (see picture). Tilt the plant upside-down and pop it out of its container. to redirect nutrients to roots and shoots. If these stressed out plants are all that's available, pick the fruit or flowers off A.S.A.P. Avoid planting anything that already has fruit this is the plant's way of saying: "Let me out of here! I need to reproduce because I could die at any minute!". There should be no flowers or fruit on the transplant.
