i have 3 10 inchers growing outside and they got too close to the point where they were touching each other so i transplanted one and almost instantly the top 4 sets began to wilt and but the botttoms were fine.. do you know the problem? and will it die? thanks for any help!

It's probably gotten stressed from having its roots disturbed. It should recover in a couple of days. Even if the top dies the plant will probably live by putting out limbs, the same as topping it.

Whenever you transplant anything, weather it be tomatoes, roses, or pot, it will always be a little shocker. Its better that the bottom isn't the part wilting, cuz the plant can still hold itself up. My thought is that the roots need to get adjusted to the new positions they are in, so the plant can get water and nutrients up to the top. if the top gets so bad that it bends, you can try leaning it on a stick, perhaps tied up with a string, that is easily taken off. Its nothing to really worry about, but if it gets worse, or you feel the need to help it, thats my suggestion-

i'll check in, keep us posted!
good luck growing

Hi, the same thing happened to me. I moved one plant and instantly it wilted and started turning yellow. This scared me so i just put it back where i got it lol and cut the top that was wilted and in 2 or 3 days it started growing just like new. Just give her some love she'll come back
