i recently had to transplant one of mine and when i went to do this the root was deeper then i thought. the tail end of was stuck into the dirt and i kinda tugged it a little before i realized it and then i went n dug the rest up to make sure i didnt mess up the roots but afterwards the plant is now drooping very badly and it doesnt even look like it has a chance of living. i propped it up and tied it so its not falling over and now im hoping for the best. does anyone had a similar experiance and had the plant live and does anyone think it will come back to life

I very much agree, one of mine had a problem (damn near same problem) you had, I actually tore off some root by accident, the plant had permanent foliar damage (stunted, "paused" nodal growth for a week and a day, it did grow verticaly btw.) and soon went hermie (just had to cut it the other day)

yes when i had to transplant i felt they were done for i mean i even bent a stem but i used a straw for support with some string and i pack the dirt in ever so slightly and my ladies came right back to normal after a few days just ake sure you give them a dose of water after movign them and try not to throw any other stress factors in there
