The little lid might help but make sure it doesn't get too hot in there, a greenhouse effect can devastate a young plant. It just takes time.... go away for a while. It all happens below the soil before it happens above ground. Your plant is busy growing a root system to support it's life above ground. Be patient... Peace- OD
