Just use a Tooth pick or something similar to just prop her up move it a small amount each day until she is straight, to much at one time could harm her so just do it in small increments, She will be just fine.


Good luck

Interesting. Never seen something like that. Looks healthy though. Like others have said just support the plant. Straw, popsicle stick etc.

One of my seedlings did this during the heat wave. Shitty timing for me to pop a bean right before a massive heat wave.

I had to bring it out of the sun before it fried. It did this. Then fell over and snapped its own tiny stem. So I did what anyone who feels frustrated would do.

I covered the broken part with dirt and propped it up with a mound of dirt.

I sincerely didnt expect much from it. But its straightening up by itself now.

Yea. Its been thru hell. Rough 1st week of life.

Yes I would say try to add extra dirt so you can kind bury that crooked coiled stem
