| Hello, everyone. I just recently moved one of my 4 o'clock plants away from the side of it's pot. I thought that it wouldn't be good for it to keep growing against the pot wall. It hasn't grown that much, just barely sprouted. My issue is that right after I did so, maybe 30 minutes later, the leaves and stems were very limp. It hasn't withered, but it's not as springy as it was before. I am very concerned, as I am trying to keep this seedling as healthy as possible. I moved it very carefully from the side to the center of the pot, and I didn't pull or grab it. Any help or suggestions as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. |

| More than likely "transplant shock" even if you just gently changed its environment only slightly. Leave it alone and see what happens. |

| I'll add my vote to the "leave it alone and see what happens" suggestion. Plants generally adjust themselves to the conditions in which they're grown. |
