    Hi everyone !

    I planted some Gartenperle seeds in cells, which grew to about 4 inches, and looked good and healthy.
    I decided the time was right (after doing some research!) to repot them.
    I don't know if I've done something wrong, but about 10 minutes after repotting them, they seemed to have wilted a bit.
    I think I've done everything correctly, so is this normal?
    Will they spring back to life after a bit of time?

    Thanks!

    They should be fine, when some plants are re-potted they often look a little droopy and lifeless for a while, just make sure you've watered them well & keep them in the light, good luck!

    I agree with freedom_spark what i would say though is just watch that the sun doesnt get to hot on them, or they might actually wilt.

    I remember being devastated by the scene of wilted tomatoes after I'd repotted my first lot but as has already been said they should come back. One thing I did find was that I hadn't been as gentle as I could have been when repotting and the ones that didn't revive had been damaged at the root.

    Lesson learnt!
