Transplant Shock - Need Help

I recently transplanted one of my plants from a plastic cup to a two gallon container. I watered (maybe a bit much) with a b-1 vitamin and bone meal added and the plant went into shock. All branches are bent over. The plant was 24 days old when I transplanted and was quite healthy. It's been two days and no sign of improving - although leaves are not dry/dead yet.

Any thoughts on what I can do to correct this problem. Or do I just have to wait and hope for the best?

Check the pH, adjust if needed. Then flush if the pH was off, if not what soil were you using and is that the same soil you transplanted to?

I'll check the PH level - What should it be? I used roughly the same soil - a store bought planter mix with perlite added.

6.3-6.8 is good.

PH was below 6 (5.7ish) - I replanted in dirt that had a PH level of 6.8 and lightly watered with B-1 and SuperThrive. What do you think my chances are of survival and how quickly should I expect results (if any)?

Just let that plant be. Its in shock like ya said. It will improve in a week or 2. Water as usual with no nutes.

I did a very gentle transplant and mine shocked too. Damn I thought this stuff was a weed yet its so fussy. I am going to just ride it out and see what happens.
