Hi. I grew my cherry tomatoes from seed in an unheated propogator for the first time and yesterday i decided to repot 6. i was very gentle seperating a couple of them which had grown in the same pot. I watered them and left them in the greenhouse overnight. This morning they look wilted and not happy!
What did i do wrong and can they be saved!

They can wilt when first pricked out if they are put into cold compost and watered with cold water. They usually recover when they warm up
so would it be best to bring them in at night?
If they're in a closed propagator and in the sun, there's a good chance of cooking them. Leave them uncovered in the sun. Bring them inside at night if outside overnight temps get down below about 10C.
