Hello guys yesterday I had a plant who was bending a lot. Today I had a bad surprise when I noticed that the stem of this plant was completely broken. This plant is only 8 days old. Is there any way to fix this? Or is this plant dead?

Idk not seen this before. Only thing might be to recut syem and add root compound and try to get it to root again? Like taking a clone..though idk if seedlings can re root at this stage...could try since its already cut off completely from main stem.

Prop it up with a tooth pick and mound some soil around the base of the seedling. It won't survive if you cut it to clone but it may repair itself.

EDIT EDIT EDIT
Oops....nevermind. I did t see that it completely snapped off. It's done sir. Start over and try again.

Gently cover it with dirt ant leave it. Don't bend it or move it. That will break it.

It got tall like that because it needed more light.

Next time put a little less dirt in the cup or pot and if it stretches put more soil around it.

Whitebb, is on the money, plant another seed & keep your light closer , to stop that stretch,
When U get bad stretch like U had, repot & burry 1/2 the stem, good luck next time
