ok well basically the seedling was planted incorrectly.. and needed to be replaced.. the seed had about a 5inch sprout comign out of it.
didnt realize it was so fragile, and when replacing its position, the sprout coming out of it snapped, about 2.5 inches came off, does this mean my plant will not grow now? am i completely screwed?

Give it a dose of rooting hormone and try to save it. I'd use the liquid kind so you don't have to dig it back up again.

Click to expand...

you can find it online or in some nursuries. Technaflora Plant Products - Home sells a rooting hormone or you can probably find some on ebay really cheap in the garden section just type "rooting hormone".

Im pretty sure most nurseries carry some form of it, but I purchased online as I cant seem to get out and go to any nurseries! lol

Or for sure Lowe'sdown and Home Despot. Maybe Ace Hardvare, too, depending on how good yours is (our SUCKS ASS ALL OUR STORES HERE SUCK). whew.. sorry, guess I needed to get that off my chest again.
