Hello guys this seedling is growing in a weird way(2 days old)

Water less. All seedlings have is a tap root and seedlings hate wet feet. Let the soil dry out and then put a clear dome (a clear solo cup or a cut pop bottle works fine) over it. Mist inside the dome a couple times a day and the plant can get all of the water it needs from the humidity in the dome. Don’t water the soil at all until the dome is removed, and then begin watering a few ml of water per day. Increase the watering quantity as the plant matures.

This may not have been placed in soil the most ideal way and look like that from having to right itself. Plants normally sort this out on their own.

Should I use the dome method with the other two seedlings as well?


These two are already outside all the time
Im putting the under direct sunlight more and more every day

Should I keep the “weird” one inside? Or out it outside in shade with the dome?

Thanks for replying

The biggest one is 3 days old and the other one 1 day old

Well this one started breaking the shell when it was still inside the water glass and the root was small so I decided to plant it in soil,
So yeah it may have been my fault

Thanks for answering

I would recommend leaving the dome on until the leaves touch the inside of the cup on all seedlings :love_you_gesture:

Remove the dome daily for misting and water a few ounces around the outside of the dome every 3 days, this will promote root growth :love_you_gesture:

Understood. Give this plant a little time to get some roots going and if it doesn’t look good you can support it some.
