Accidentally uprooted freshly germinated seedling

Hello everybody! I accidentally pulled up my freshly germinated seedling while moving something that fell in the pot😑 taproot came up about a quarter inch I quickly tried to softly push it back down and decided to just raise the dirt around it. I sprayed water on the soil and left it alone Pretty sure the taproot did not break. I know these plants are resilient but the plant parent in me feels I should reach out and ask to be sure. I’ve never pulled up a seedling this young on accident sure I’ve dropped some pots and things like that but they were already established and had a few nodes on them.

I split these, they are resiliant.
Reposition and rebury.
Good luck

All you can do is cross your fingers :man_shrugging:

I’d bet though, if the tap root wasn’t damaged then it will be ok :+1:
