Here is my way of doing any transplant:
1- water them real good shortly before. This way they will drink and eat and will not wilt or droop right away.

2- try to separate them with least disturbance as possible.

3- After transplanting water them individually with a small kettle-like watering can to the point of flooding. This will pack the soil around the roots and will get the air out.

For a few days keep an eye on them. Water lightly and/or mist them until the roots grab the soil.
