I wouldn't say they are a goner yet but I would not let it get wet until the soil dries out and then sparingly until it recovers. Get it outside as much as you can in good sun. Pictures will help us figure out a good remedy.

Bottom heat for now until you can get them in the sun and on warm concrete.. This may help as well. Seedling heat mats work great.

Keep up the good work and like Mike says, don't give up.

Good idea to stake the stem to keep it from moving around, especially if you are moving them back and forth.

Keep them in a sunny window for now and keep the container warm if you can.

Once the temps warm up and you put them back outside, keep them out of direct sun for 7-10 days to acclimate them after you repotted them. You say roots were broken too?

Pictures?

Good Luck!!

I always use Superthrive and Seaweed extract or B-1 in water when transplanting. This usually stems the shock. An established plant should not have a problem with rain and reasonable temperature changes. Going from inside to out if already leafed out can shock a plant because the amount of sun is so much increased so filtered sun at first is preferred. Superthrive and water should help and let it dry out for several days. Shock can be a hard one to stop after too long. Good luck.

Here's a fun fact. Unless something recent has change super thrive is illegal in oklahoma

Mike

would like to know why, Mike. I have used it for years and find it works really well.

Bill, here's your answer, from Wikipedia on Superthrive:

The hormone 1-Naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) does not occur naturally. Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), products containing NAA require registration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as pesticides. The sale of Superthrive is prohibited in Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Oregon as an unregistered pesticide.

Interesting that Superthrive contains NAA, which is the active ingredient of most rooting compounds, like Rootone, etc. Along with vitamin B1, I guess that's it's secret.

Mike,

So if you buy it online as a "fertilizer," what do they have to say to that? :)

I would think you could order it from Amazon and they would send it with no problem. They would tell you when you ordered it if they couldn't send it to certain states. I think that would just mean that HD and other brick and mortar stores in Oklahoma couldn't stock and sell it.

Bill. I searched high and low everywhere for it and no one had it . I remember doing research on it and finding out is prohibited.

I'm sure you're right Del. an online store may ship it just fine.

Thank Kenny. I have to order more foliage pro this summer I may try and get some super thrive at the same time.

Mike

Amazon has a large number of merchants who sell it.

Yep! that's where I got mine from. Mike, I think you're good to go! Don't use it as a pesticide though, we sure don't want the EPA to go after you ;)

Kenny

Haha. Thanks Kenny. I will clearly mark it as "fertilizer". I Dont need the feds knocking on my door LOL.
