Quick advise!

[Grow_4_us]

My plant (bout 4 1/2 to 5 inches tall)tipped over and the stem bent in half.I put some thing to support it up and applied anti-wilt to the bent area then misted anti-wilt to the rest of it.It doesn't look like it was broken open, just bent in half enough that it wouldn't stand on its own, meaning it was totally laying over.There's enough of plant there to clone the top if needed to save unless the current way that I got it would possible work.Please reply if any ideals of what I should do.

Won't have any pics till the mornung.

Any body??

If it hasn't actually broken, then you've done what you should have done. As long as you keep it tied to a stake for support, it should keep growing straight. Now, you have to find the reason for the plant falling over. Especially at under 5", a plant should not bend over sideways and fall unless something is wrong. How does it look aside from the wilting?

It looks sort of fine except n for a few leaves hanging/drooping and the main stem looks a lill twisted.
It happen while I was raising the light up more for it wouldn't grow into it(T12 shop light),it dropped on it knocking What I got it in over, it bent up against the side of an aquarium I got for a sog wich is sort of next to it about a foot and a half to two feet away.I guessing it should pep up a lttle bit durring the lighting period in the morning.
I was just about to cut it above the bent part as a cuttling to clone it/reforce root groth.

dont try to clone it yet just keep it staked up and if it looks like its getting worse tryto clone it.

Its lookin better although it could be the anti-wilt that I used because I now notice the brake.It's small lenth wise but still a brake in the main stem.I will post a few pics as soon as my camera is charged.Do you think that it will be alright or do you think that I should go ahead and clone it?

[Grow_4_us]

The first two are of the broke part of the stem.The third is of how ir currently looks.The last two are of the ones I got veggiing.

Cut the top off that water bottle before the plant gets ANY bigger. How is your drainage situation?

[Grow_4_us]

The drainage is well,it has a bit of sandy soil mixed with potting soil and prlite.The top is about two inches wide,do you still think that it needs to be cut off?

[stinkyattic]

definitely
