Transplant mimosa seedlings

I have put 20 seeds in 2 small pots with perlite. After 5 days, 6 germinated. Should I transplant to organic soil? I also worry that if I transplant them, I will disturb the rest of seeds, and so they will not germinate.

I would.
I always found MH to be quite nutrient hungry.

I would wait for a few more days in case you have some more that germinate. Also the ones you have there are only babies, they still have their cotyledons and could still wait to be transplanted. I usually transplant once they have one or two sets of 'true' leaves.

If you are worried about roots being intertwined, you could use something rigid and flat, such as plastic, to insert between the seedlings in the soil. It is very important that they go into organic soil, as they are N fixers and require inoculation of symbiants for this N fixing to occur. I would recommend using soil that you know contains beneficials.

i'd stake them up. so they get support. i'm sure they will get stronger as time progresses.

harden off means to get the seedlings some form of intense light like sunlight, as much of w/e type of light they can handle so the seedling will get hard and wont damage as easily during handling as if it weren't hardened
