Hey,

When transplanting my plant into a bigger pot the roots got ripped some of them and alot of the roots got ripped.

I tried transplanting it into it as fast as I could after that.

Can my plant live or is it dead?

Ok thanks but are you sure?

I always have a problem with transplanting, Maybe I should just plant them in bigger pots.


How long should it be before it starts to go back to normal?

But I also thought once the roots rip it is dead?

roots can repair them self don't worry to much. Yes you did dammage the plant yes you will see the full extent of the damage in a week or so. Since you didn't provide any pictures we can't say for sure if it will survive. somthing for the future. an easy easy way to transplant is to flood the soil with about 1/2 the water that their is soil so 1/2 gallon of water to 1 gallon of soil just get it all moist. then place your hand with the stem inbetween your fingers and turn the pot upside down. It will pop out of the pot and be in the same shape as the pot much like a can of spam. this prevents root damage and really minimises shock as well

See I do that but when I do that and I put the plant in the soil it all comes apart.

then it didn't need to be transplanted yet. the roots shoul fill up the pot enough to hold the soil together. I agree with just putting it in a large pot to start out with saves you the hassel

Expect to see your plant to start dieing in places. You should clip the dieing parts off to conserve energy for the plant, it should help with recovery.

I have noticed that when using really light mixes like promix transplants tend to do what your talking about. Using ocean forest I have never had this problem. If only some of your roots rip of you should be fine. Many root ripping will of course stress the plant and cause it to slow growth/healing.

Also buy this for healthier roots altogether: Rooters Mycorrhizae Blend.

this may sound dumb to some but I used to use grow bags, I started in a 3 gal bag and when it's time to trans I cut the bottom of the bag off unclump the roots and place it into another 3 gallon bag. I think it's called stacking don't quote me though... it's easy and almost no mess to clean up. best of all it works never had any issues! but now a days start and finish in 8-10 gal pots so trans is never needed:hump:

No plant needs should be transplanted after a week.
When you transplant turn the entire pot upside down tap it out, then just put it in a larger pot there shouldn't be any roots lost.
You really crack me up man! You've had so many fuck ups, you're bound to get it right one of these days!

Well in the past couple of days,

The leaves smell and now they lost their smell.
The leaves LOOK as if they have been growing which is a good sign.
