Why does a seedling wilt when it is transplanted from one pot to another?

A plant with a fragile root system will find it difficult to draw nutrients and water from the soil if it is moved from one pot to another and the root system is disturbed or damaged. The plant will go into shock and appear to wilt until its roots settle and begin to grow again, when it will perk up. This could take anything from an hour to a couple of days depending on the type of plant the extent of the root damage/shock.

∙ 13y agoAs the leaves and blooms grow, so do the roots. If its a strong root system, it needs care too. Two of the signs of unhealthy roots are leaf-drop or wilting. It means the roots have grown in the pot so much that they are being squished together and are unable to transport water to the stems and leaves. So the plant dehydrates just as if you weren't watering it all. So as soon as you can, get a slightly bigger pot, say add an inch to the mouth of the pot. You don't want a pot that's a whole lot bigger, just a little bit. Add like about 4-5 inches of fresh potting soil to the new pot. Then gently remove the plant from the old pot, trying not to rip the roots off. Center the plant in the new pot on the fresh soil. Fill in the sides with soil, do not pack down. All this should take about 20 minutes for a medium sized house plant. Water as usual. but don't overwater. Good luck.
