My daughter was going a bean plant, and a few tiny beans had just started to grow. Unfortunately, the stalk bent. She is devastated. What can I do now? Will it repair itself? Should I cut it and place it in water and hope it grows new roots? What should I try?

Eat the sprout and plant a new one?

LOL! It looks like we might be headed in that direction. Was just hoping to be "hero" Mom that saves 'bean'!

it's super delicate as a little sprout, but with care most plants re-root in water. good luck.
