"Generally, Camira is right. Root damage is generally irreversable. However, we are wizards after all. There are a few potions that will make nutrients more easily available to the plant. There are also fertilizers and potions that can promote faster root growth. I actually had to do this with a good many of the plants transplanted. Unfortunately, these are the ones that are not improving."

He set it aside and pulled over a small row of plants that seemed to be dying. "There is also another class where there is nothing that you can do. These are plants that technically only live for a season. Most of us do not notice, because they are back the next year. However, they actually completely die off, and it is their young that lives on the next year. Can anyone name such a plant?"
