One of my Black Panther pepper seedlings looks odd compared to the others.
The cotyledons seem fused together and the plant is more leggy than the rest. Iām also not seeing any true leaves forming yet.
All the other seedlings from the same batch are already developing normally.
Could this still recover, or did the growing point likely fail?

It can still recover and sometimes itās even possible without any intervention.
If it remains underdeveloped, you could apply a cautious little cut to reveal the node between what would be the two cotyledons. Then normal leaves would have a better chance to come through.
Ive had mixed results with this. Sometimes a true leaf pops out and other times it seems locked off and i have to cull it. Give it maybe a week at most to see if theres a true leaf but if you have other options dont hold out on it.
