No worries it's just being helpfull. Sounds like you should lower the temps a bit, put the plastic wrap back on if it's all weak and wilty. What's the stem look like? Check your water Ph levels as well if you can. But if it already looks crispy and dead then you may as well focus on making sure your other 4 plants don't reach this state.
i did have it under a jar and it seemed like it just hurt it more. well as far as the temp goes im working it out but the other plants seem to like it. the stem its 1 inch tall 9 days old. light green like the new leaves, it just looks sick
Try putting a few skewers in the soil and plastic wrap over them. Get some good water (not tap water) and make sure it's nice and moist under the plastic wrap. If the stem looks weak use string and tie it up straight against something. Overall try and make a biodome or healing atmosphere so the plant has some chance to make a comeback. Thats all I can think of, sometimes sprouts just give up on living and shrivel up. If anyone has any better ideas feel free to help out
My vote is to kill it and don't risk infecting other plants with what it has. Also Pete doesn't have any food get some sort of food to your plants...but go easy at first. You also will need good soil to put it into soon! Flowers-Of-Truth
