    Do plants sulk?

    I transplanted a cayenne pepper seedling today into a 3" pot and watered it in. For a couple of hours after it wilted and looked on the verge of dying. I thought I had killed it.

    However, I have just checked it and it is as right as rain. Looking very perky.

    So do they actually 'sulk' so to speak?

            Iv read some were (can't remember were) that re potting can upset a plant for up to week before it starts to establish it's self in it's new surroundings so I wouldn't worry to much . I repotted a cucumber a few weeks ago and that took almost a fortnight before it started to grow again now there's no stoping it has grow load in last week.... Nature can't be controlled I suppose

                    I re-potted some little black current bush's and they had the right monk on with me. I'm hoping they buck there ideas up pretty soon.

                      When potting up chillis, peppers and cucumbers, I usually water them in their original pot, then put them into the bigger pot and don't water them. That's because they are all plants who detest sitting in compost with more water in it than their roots can take up. So I usually wait at least a day, and even 2 if they aren't in full sun before watering them again.

                        I do as Sarz does. They seem to establish quicker with this method, so less sulking. I find tomatoes are the most petulant when it comes to sulking they are like hormonal teenagers.

                          When I repot I don't get any sulking. Mind you, I use room temp water to water them in, not cold water

                            I put mine in the shade for a day and they have less of a sulking tendency. Just under the greenhouse staging is enough. Full sun is a bit much for them at this stage in their lives.

                              I find that they're worst for sulking when they're small and since I've started sowing all my small seeds in newspaper pots I never get any sulking as the roots etc aren't disturbed. Used to really panic me with toms etc when I started out

                              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
