移植是将幼苗或小植物从最初的繁殖介质转移到主要生长系统的过程。在水培法中，这通常意味着将岩棉块或快速生根塞中发芽的幼苗转移到装满粘土卵石、椰糠或其他支撑介质的网盆中。移植使根系首次暴露于营养液中，并标志着主要营养生长阶段的开始。
关键事实
- Transplant when the first true leaves appear and roots are visible at the base of the propagation plug
- Handle seedlings by the plug or media, never by the stem — stem damage causes permanent setback
- Ensure the propagation plug sits at the correct depth so roots reach the nutrient solution
- Transplant shock: temporary wilting and slow growth after moving — usually resolves in 24–48 hours
- Reduce nutrient concentration to 50% for the first week post-transplant
- Hydroponic transplants are faster than soil: roots find water immediately rather than searching
