[CH] all my seedlings die

Hi
My seedlings reacted the same way. There is an immediate shock to the
seedlings after transplanting and is most noticeable 18-24 hours later.
I added water with a soluble houseplant fertilizer immediately after
transplanting. I figured this would help set the soil around the roots
(water) and help offset the shock (fertilizer).
The shock still occurs, but let the seedlings be (do not add water for a few
days), let them recover, and then resume normal watering.
This worked for me.
