is my plant doomed

[greenjunky97]

i just transplanted my baby to a bigger pot and the main root was longer then the old pot n was coming out of a drainage hole. i didnt notice and accidently cut a few roots including the big main one. did i just kill my little girl?

 

[Where in the hell am I?]

Ya shud be fine! Root trimming is actually used all throughout horticulture!

 

[greenjunky97]

well thats a relief although id hardly call what i did a trim... i guess only time will tell. thanks for the help

 

[Where in the hell am I?]

As long as ya didnt cut off more than 1/3 of the roots, yer fine!

 

[greenjunky97]

i think its doomed heres sum pics
the first one directly after the transplant and then another prolly 20 minutes afterwards

Might want to water her after the transplant, if ya havent done so already.

I did a horrible job of transplanting my first plants at that stage, many roots got cut and they did bounce back after awhile. They will completely recover. Also I had just overwatered and they still lived and now are doing great.

Heya Green, was just curious of your girl bounced back?

Dude, didnt realize they were that small! My bad, I shoulda asked. I gave ya advice based on a more mature plant. But, hell, all I did was get yer hopes up

 

[greenjunky97]

haha its not a problem..
actually its seemed to bounce back already the leaves arnt droopy anymore. so i dont kno maybe she'll live maybe shell die :-\

[greenjunky97]

but im not in va im in md 10 mins from va thou rite by d.c

If the bottom/lower leaves show loss of color, don't worry, its just taking nutes from them to keep the plant alive, its just like a storage room for nutes on the lower leaves. It'll be fine, just give it some time. And the dropyingness could be done by overwatering, so watch that.

Good to hear it made a come back!!

The other day I had just transplanted a 1 foot plant and when I walked around a corner with the plant my rabbit ran out under my foot and I totaly fell on my face and power slammed the pot and pot plant... Smashed everything plant, pot, my face and knees

There was chunks of the root ball all over the floor LOL...So I repot'd it and gave it some super thrive, it slumped over for a day and then came back to life like it never happed crazy plant lol...I'm still sore and its looking great.

if shes startin to turn around i think u should be ok....expect growth to be stunted a bit while she heals the injuries... but its amazing how resilient they can be
