just make sure you get the whole root ball when you transfer, and put it in soil that is similar to the soil it is currently in. then water it good and it should be ok.

let the soil dry before transplanting,and always best to use the same soil in the new pot.this helps plant not to get too stressed out.

To play devil's advocate. Which soil? The one the plant is in or that the plant is going in to?

the one with the plant in.its easier to extract from pot.does everyone use the same soil when transplanting?

yes same soil here. but some (most) of times when i'm all done got new soil in for a strange reason it will start to wilt and bend 
did i break something or hurt it's feelings?

well there is always some shock involved in transplanting. it just depends on how careful you are, how healthy the plant is, etc. do you thoroughly wet the soil so that it's draining heavily from the bottom? When you pack in the soil around the root ball, do you ensure there are no air pockets without soil?

What i did was use a large coffee can after they sprouted.. i know getto huh, but when its time to transplant cut the bottom out and drop rootball into new container...
