Check the newly planted root ball

What this suggests
Root disturbance and a sudden change in conditions can interrupt water uptake after planting.

Confirm the clues
• Feel the original root ball as well as surrounding soil.
• Check planting depth, drainage, and exposure to wind or intense sun.

What to do now
1. Water according to root-ball moisture; do not assume moist surrounding soil means moist roots.
2. Give tender transplants temporary protection from harsh conditions and allow time to establish.

Hold off on
Avoid repeated repotting or strong fertilizer while roots are stressed.

What to watch for
Look for stable posture and healthy new growth. Continued collapse or stem-base damage needs closer assessment.
