Hi Dean;
I left my M. violacea much longer in the pot and they seemed to preform better if they have 1 or 2 open leaves to help the repair the root damage that will occur when they are transplanted.

The 3 M. velutina that I have had trouble with were transplanted before the first leaf opened. 2 of them were put into fertilized potting soil and died. With the last one, I moved it out of the fertilized soil and into unfertilized soil before it was dead. So far it is still alive-just barely.
