I have a 14-day-old seedling that I named Lucia. I went on a day trip and took Lucia with me (because I thought I could take better care of her that way) but I was an idiot! On the way back, due to bad road conditions, the seedling pot turned upside down…
A lot of damage has been done to the seedling roots and I sincerely hope that it can be recovered…
what should I do now? Do you think there is a way to save her?
By the way, I also buried a part of the seedling’s stem to help it recover
lol. Loving the mental image of you on a road trip with your plant…
All you can do though is stabilise the conditions to optimum and hope she recovers. But based on those pics, honestly I would start some new seeds which will have a much better yield. This one is super stunted and will take a lot of time and effort to put right, time and energy that could be better spent on a new plant.
Thank you for your suggestion, but I really can’t get new seeds and I’m kind of attached to Lucia. She has experienced stressful situations like this several times before and recovered again. And the feeling I have for her is like a father’s feeling for his daughter, so I can’t let her go…
ok well in that case you absolutely need to eliminate the stress from her life. You need to give her a stable, optimum environment with the right amounts of light, heat and humidity. Then in addition, the feed needs to be correct so she gets the right nutrition.
