    Hello All,

    Yesterday I was repotting my mango plant and accidentally broke the root about halfway down into the pot(12inchs deep). It was the one long root with others coming off of it. About 6-8inches of the root came off.

    Will it be okay?

    Also, I was repotting because the soil in the pot was not draining well. So I mixed up some of my own soil so the roots could actually grow freely. Will the damage to the plant be severe?

    The plant looks a little wilted this morning, but otherwise good. Also the mango seed itself just came right off when I placed the pot on its side. Didn't touch it, it just came off. I'll post pics tonight of the plant.
