How long does it take plants to recover after repotting?

I have several different chili plants that have been growing on my kitchen windowsill. Yesterday I bought some terracotta pots and compost and repotted them. Immediately some of them appeared quite droopy, so I watered them afterwards.

They seemed to perk up a bit, but still seem a bit flacid.



Is this usual (it has been 24 hours now)?

How long should it take for them to recover? and is there anything I can do to help them (baby bio or similar)

Always put some miralce gro on mine when I move them about ........worked most of the time for me
Reply:tap the pots on a surface to get rid of any big air pockets that there might be, then put somethink underneath them like a plate and fill it with water and leave them to soak as much as the soil can. then the roots should take batter.



there isnt really any need yet for fertilisers as the soild hasnt lost any of the nutriants that are in there.
Reply:far too early to put them outside and re-potting is a no no ... what you should have done is to put them outside to harden off ... then after a few days you could have re potted them ... too many shocks at this stage could kill them off
Reply:there is a product that i use everytime I transplant anything from a house plant to vegtables it's called miracle grow quickstart it prevents the plants from going in to shock and it also stimulates the roots so they get growing faster I have never been disapointed with this product it comes in a green jug and I buy it at wall mart in the lawn and garden dept-satified customer-( i just hate to see my plants wilt and with this product they dont)
Reply:It will take them a week......and DON'T put them in direct sun for that week. Just light filtered sun and when they "recover" put them back on the window.
