okay so i bought the miracle gro perlite and mixed in about 1/3 of it with 2/3 of my original soil. the only thing i am a little worried about is when i was transplanting them to another pot to add the perlite, i noticed some of the roots on the very bottom snapped off.

QUESTIONS
what will happen to my plants now that i snapped some of their roots?
is it going to go into shock?
i watered them 2 days ago and transplanted today. should i water them now?
