Default Transplanting seedlings

Hi everyone

Today while i was repotting my N viking to a bigger pot(just slightly bigger) i decided to try out to transplant 2 of my seedlings which is the one which germinated last november from JK...They were only a mere 1-2 cm is size..So just for the experience of it seeing if i can actually make it survive i tried lorr..I used the tweezer or whatever you call it the clip that has 2 hooks at the end..Anyways you get what i mean..So i pulled out 2 seedlings as gently as possible..1 of them only has 1 short strand of root which the bottom is somehow black like a normal neps hav..At first i thought they were rotting or something but then i think of it i realise all neps roots are kinda blackish..So i planted it...The 2nd one i pulled out has 1 strand which at the end has divided so in a way 2 strands...It also has that blackish roots..But the roots nearer to the plant is white and when it goes down lower it turns black..Is it rot or is that just the colour?
I put a cover over it to provided as much humidity as possible...Hope it will survive.

Ken
