My bush beans are looking a little sad :(  
I moved them to a larger pot and really tried to take my time to untangle the roots.  
They were doing so good, I was really excited about the potential harvest. I don’t know what to do about them. Will they recover, are they just stressed from being moved?

I used to plant bush beans directly in soil, I don’t think they like being transferred. Some look ok but the one on the right in the left picture might not make it
