My babies of 3 weeks, 8 inches tall, 4 sets of leaves, weak stem, 10 foot dive from my book shelf, the top four inches of the plant are hanging 90 degrees from the stem, picture an upside down L, the stem is pinched, what do i do...... AHHHH.

Mr Green

it doesn't sound good. I'd try to prop it up. try using a straw or something like that, sink it into the soil (dont hit the roots) then tie thred or some light string around the straw and the plant. (i think it's real importand that you do this asap.) if your plant stem is kinked....well u know, it is real bad.
I think that's all I can do for ya, good luck.

I have moved the plant to a taller container, buried the stem to 2 millimeters above the pinched area which is 2 millimeters below the second set of leaves. added water, praying to god....

Mr Green

You might still want to think about some support. I had a hell of a time getting mine to stand up right. I added a support on the side of it and installed a fan. (the fan blows gently on the plant forcing it to grow a stronger stem)
worked real good. Was standing on it's own in a week if I can recall.
