Well...I have a couple seedlings that are stuck in their shells. They're above soil and just sitting there with their hats over their heads. Should I rebury them in more soil or is there a way to gently remove the seed shell? It's on their pretty good on both of them. And I don't want to damage the leaves inside or the stem. Any suggestions?
 
I'd give them a day or two to let them deal with it on their own, it's almost a right of passage. If you're really anxious, you can remove it yourself (two pairs of tweezers, or very steady hands). :)
 
yeah that hapened to me once but the plants died because my cat ate them.but dont worry they should make it. give them time.but good luck man.
 
Thank's..I actually just threw some more dirt over them and soaked it a bit. That way they have an anchor to hold the shell in place while they pull themselves out of it.
