Some friends were getting rid of 6 lilli pilli's from their backyard and
were kind enough to give them to me.
Unbeknown to me however, they dug them up 3 days before I picked them up
and
also removed all the soil from around the roots - so when I got them they
were in a pretty bad way.
We've replanted them now and given them a really good watering, but they
seem to be getting worse - the leaves are turning brown and starting to
drop
off.
Are the plants doomed - will they come back to life?
Apart from being left out of ground for 3 days, they have the best chance
possible at this time of year.
As others have said, remove quite a few leaves, 2/3s even. Don't over water
it, and if you feel, give a dose of miracle grow or any other liquid fert
that reduces shock.
Don't give up on them yet.
Good luck
Is there something I can do to save them? Maybe some seasol?
If it says it reduces transplant shock, then yeah, try it.
Thanks for any help,
Dave.
