So I was growing two seedlings and everything was going great, but after a week or so after popping out of the earth, the very top of both folded along with the new 2 leafs (not the cotyledons, the leafs after those), trying to fix them I ended up breaking up one and the other one seemed fine but I think it wasn’t.
That was around 5 days ago, since then to today:
- Seedling number 1’s top couldn’t be saved, it withered away, so now it’s just the cotyledons, still green and firm tho.
- Seedling number 2 is still alive but stopped growing, it’s still the same cotyledons and the 2 new leafs, no longer folded tho, but no progress at all.
I am feeling terrible because it took me 3 seeds before I could germinate those 2 and I don’t want them to die but I gotta ask: is it possible for them to survive or it’s better to be realistic and just discard them? I tried searching for it, but I haven’t found anything about seedlings surviving or how long it could take for them to start growing again, everything seems to be about plants that already grew beyond that point.
Seems reasonable. I’m curious to see how these turn out, please keep posting!
