set the timer, shut the door and walk away untill feeding time. u said it you self, leave it alone. they sell products that help a plant repair faster but i dont know any thing about them. if you plants survive, there is a guy that posted about his roomate throwing his seedlings out a 3d floor aprtment and he recoverd them. u guys should breed your plants to make a super plant. one that can survive almost anything...that would be cool. seriously, sorry to hear that.

best of luck to ya...try singing to them
