How to treat transplant shock in seedlings?

Water seedlings immediately after transplanting. Shade them for 2–3 days to reduce stress. Avoid fertilising for 7–10 days — roots cannot uptake nutrients when stressed. A dilute seaweed solution aids recovery. Most seedlings recover within a week in India's warm climate if roots were undamaged.
