so a lot of newbies like to plant one seed per pot. i can understand why. but in a pinch if you don't have enough soil mix or just are lazy like me, you can cram a few more into smaller pots, then divide them a week or two down the road.also when you get a bit more confident in your skill as a gardener you tend to take a few more chances. i took a few pix to show how ez it is. in two weeks i'll let you know if everything survived.
the second tip i wanted to pass on is up-potting to bigger pots...ppl ask when they should do it and the answer lies beneath the soil line where all the real fun stuff happens. my example is a month old blueberry which has just about grown to the point at which it needs a bigger home. i took the little root
ball out of its pot to show root development for a plant at about that age. actual results will very. this example of blueberry at one month is
about two wks away from being pot bound. that is to say; all the roots have nowhere else to go so they just keep growing around the confines of
their container, in this case a 4"pot. note the root development at one month. any less and i may have waited another week to transplant. it does
help when transplanting if there are enough roots to hold the root mass together while you're moving the litttle guys and it's real important
to water befor you up-pot and for the first day or two i keep the new starts in a relatively lower light, moister RH , low stress environment. 
i think that covers it. any questions, or if you think i left anything out that should be addressed plz lemme know.
