Ok, first i wanna say that i'm a newb to growing, and i dont have the fancy lamps nd stuff, i only got water and a seedling, but the seedling had a lack of light so the stem grew very long, so i had to put it back in the light, i did that but at the same time the stem sorta snapped, not completely its only bent. and with the handling in try to put it right the stem broke at soil level, so i just digged a hole and put it back in there, its now 2 days later and the plant seems to be doing fine, but i'm worried, is she allright?
and how should i solve this problem? can it grow further or is she gonna die :(
help pls :( i want to invest in this if i need to buy something just tell me what, but the problem is i'm livin in belgium and the growshops are only avaible through post order, and i'm afraid the lamp is gonna break during the trip :( please help :(
here is a pic:

i have put a lamp from a lava lamp about 60 cm from the plant, and i have a cardboard box around it with alu foil
it just needs light i think, but will the plant burn/require more water ?

...#1 novice grower's mistake = overwatering.
...don't water your soil until it is dry. Good luck....do you have drainage holes in that pot?

but will it require more water now that there is a light close to it ? do i need to buy a fan or something to cool it down ?

the best thing for you to do , get a box "DONT USE FOIL" it creats hotspots and burn the leaves , use mylar or emergency blanket , put your light 20 cm from the top of the plant , get a small fan or a pc fan and it should be fine

It looks like the seedling is planted too high. The root and the stem are both above ground. Mb put some soil around the base and plant it a little deeper. The stem bent. Not a good sign. It might not survive. Good luck
