Hello, My son dug up one of my seedlings with a trowel. Life is pain. It was only outside of its home for a few seconds.
The stem was perfectly in tact and I packed it back into the soil and watered it again. I don’t have any expectation that it’ll survive. I’ll be watching it closely the next few days to see if the leaves are changing colors. It was about a week old. Thoughts?
As long as the main root wasn't damaged, I would suggest sticking it up till it gets a good root structure again and then transplanting it. It may take a while depending how badly the roots got damaged but usually they come back.
