First I should start off by saying that this forum is helping me alot. Next let's get to the problem.

Things You Should Know:
- I used a clear cup
- 1/2 inch down is how far I planted
- I haven't done anything yet

So my seedling was germed and the root came out so I planted. Anyways, I looked today and saw the TAPROOT was exposed. I gently moved away some dirt and saw that the taproot is shooting upward and that the shell of the seed popped off. The little green bottom is facing downward. Now if I am right, I believe that the little green bottom is the first 2 little leaves :leaf: (cotledon* or w/e).

To my Question:
- Should I take and move the root downward and the little green leaves upward?
- Am I wrong about the whole thing?

Thanks for the help.

Something similar just happened to my plant, I used tweezers to lightly pull the leaves up out of the dirt. and just made sure the root was covered at the base. The little leaves looked like crap for about a day but then it will be back to the races.

If you are using potting soil the plant will be able to figure it out on its own, after all they've been growing from just falling to the ground for millions of years, I usually try not to mess with the plants as little as possible.
