We bought a Banksia verticillata and planted 2-3 months ago. Since planting it hasn’t grown, and started to shrink and get brown leaves. At first, I thought it just needed more watering as summer, however this hasn’t improved things at all.
Upon further reading I think it might be due to poor drainage and possible root rot. The soil does seem somewhat compact and when I water, there is normally a pool of water that sits on top and takes a while to soak in.
Can you please recommend the steps I need to take to try and bring this plant back to life? Ideally step by step outline, as I’m a beginner gardener 🧑🌾!
Thanks a lot.
