I have a small seedling just. just got second leaves, small plant. It got bent over and looks broke. I use hydro, can I use the replanting mythod? or does anyone have any suggestions... it was an expensive seed and I would like to save it.
thanks

I've never tried it with hydro, but there's about a 25% in soil that staking it will save it, just depends on if the internals were bent or actually broken. If it was broken you may get an air bubble and your plant will just be doomed. But no idea on the replanting sorry.

ok.. so it does seem like there is a break in the stem on one side.... I have put some moist min gro-dan cubes around the base of the stem just past where the break is to support the stem and provide a place for new roots to grow. The plant is in a small cube into a larger cube... the mini cubes are loosely on top. I am crossing my fingers this works. she has a nice tap root thats all the way thur the first cube and working on the second. thanks for the help....

What is it a week or 2 old? Throw it out and start another one. It'll take longer to heal than it will to grow another seedling.
