I agree Craig...it seems the rougher you treat them, the more vigorous they grow. I've dropped them, knocked them over, ripped all but a few roots off when separating, pulled of leaves when trying to remove a seed coat, you name it, I've done it when it comes to abusing plants. I end up with stockier, more robust seedlings.

In other words...rip them apart, shove them in the soil, give them a drink and let them grow. If they don't survive it, they were weak to begin with and can go to the compost pile.
