Ripped off one of the first leaves

Flippinuggetstarted grow question 5h ago

Anyone has previous experience with seedlings that had their one leave cut off from the beginning? I accidentally rip them off in two different pots by removing the seed shell. Will they develop normally or they are goner?

Happened to me with a blue zushi plant! I was super worried but it turned out fine, she wasnt even slower than her sisters. You can add a humidity dome of you want to assist her :)

If she develops the next pair of leafes she can survive. Next time wen xoubtry to remove seedcaps, Spray the seedling with some water first ,wait 2 minutes and remove it then.

Ouch... The first one should be able to grow, but it might be delayed. However, the second one, without a leaf to receive light, I think it's dead... Give them a week: if the leaf turns yellow (for the first one) and if the stem turns brown (for the second one), I recommend starting over. cross your fingers 😉
