So I was growing two seedlings and everything was going great, but after a week or so after popping out of the earth, the very top of both folded along with the new 2 leafs (not the cotyledons, the leafs after those), trying to fix them I ended up breaking up one and the other one seemed fine but I think it wasn’t.
That was around 5 days ago, since then to today:
- Seedling number 1’s top couldn’t be saved, it withered away, so now it’s just the cotyledons, still green and firm tho.
- Seedling number 2 is still alive but stopped growing, it’s still the same cotyledons and the 2 new leafs, no longer folded tho, but no progress at all.
I am feeling terrible because it took me 3 seeds before I could germinate those 2 and I don’t want them to die but I gotta ask: is it possible for them to survive or it’s better to be realistic and just discard them? I tried searching for it, but I haven’t found anything about seedlings surviving or how long it could take for them to start growing again, everything seems to be about plants that already grew beyond that point.
I mean… I’m not going to sell it, it’ll be for personal use so I have no rush, I don’t have the money to buy seeds over and over, so I rather keep these two seedlings alive if they are strong enough to survive at my balcony (which seems like they are).
Also, since we’re talking about 2 seedlings, if one grows first then the other one can go at it’s own pace without problem.
Seems reasonable. I’m curious to see how these turn out, please keep posting!
