keep it in the shade or low light until it recovers. make sure it the soil stays moist the first week or so, until it establishes a good root system.

keep it outside but let it get morning and/or evening direct sunlight. you don't want it to crispify in the mid day heat. they are pretty strong. if you mist it in the evening it will help.

Thats pretty toasty, generally 75-85 is ideal.
My plants survived a couple rounds with 105+ degree temps and are still alive and kicking but for a seedling it might be a bit much, try and keep it cool.

Welcome bunique

Can you put it in an area that is shaded for a good portion of the day?
You do not want those temps all day long on young plants.

you sound like you're near me. 104 yesterday. keep it outside in the shade for the next few days. at this point it won't need the direct blazing sun. a window sill will also do. even better if it's inside air-conditioned. keep it misted during cool hours. it will absorb water thru the leaves and help it grow faster. not to wet though. feel what it needs. if you can't sit out in the bright sun at this point it can't either.

be the plant. :peace::joint::joint:

i dont know if this plant is going to make it or not.. it is standing up straight.. one leaf is kinda droopy.. the stem is really small but right under the soil the stem/root is much fatter and looks healthy.

wish i could get pictures but its too small to focus
