so i had a pot of burpees pollinator mix flowers. i had beautiful growth, and while trying to get some excess water out, i dropped it and this is what they look like. i’m sure they’re recoverable, i just don’t know what to do

I have no advice, just encouragement. I tried to grow garlic a few years ago. I had a gnat problem, and after spending a very thoughtful time cleaning roots and changing out soil...I took one extra step and spilled the entire thing.

yeaaa after sitting and staring at it for a bit; i gathered as many of the sprouts and seedlings as i could. i managed to save a lot; spent an hour hand planting all the seedlings and kinda just buried the sprouts back in the pot they were in. i’ll see how they do, plus it was only about 6 days worth of growth 🤷‍♀️

Ah yes. The staring and blinking lol. 10 pounds of fresh soil and mature garlic falling 5 feet because I caught my thumb on a corner.

Spilled it into the dresser, which was doubling as a plant stand and where I kept my shirts (small house, limited windows for plants lol)
