Can weed grow roots from its stem? (I think I planted too deep..)

I replanted my seedlings in better soil. Thought I would help them grow by planting right up to the leaves. (They were "stretchy".)

Was that a mistake?

Will the stem grow roots, or just rot?

should be fine. Kinda how ya fix a seedling that streched a lil to much

pictures would help

stretchy seedling are caused by light. Did you break one off or something?

You did the right thing. Keep the lights close and the leaves will get super fat.

I find it annoying if the leaves are too close to the soil, makes it harder to water.
I read somewhere that the stem will grow roots, but I haven't looked.

you can actually root a branch on the plant by making a cut in the stalk and putting a rapid rooter over the cut and then place a baggie over the rapid rooter and keep moist.I forget the details but should try it sometime. Although a little off topic

yes it will, eventually

Thanks all. This site is great. Glad to know my babies will be okay. (If something else doesn't go wrong.)

It's definitely nice to replant. I've related one of my plants many many times and its the strongest out of all of my plants.
