How to rescue young Lilly Pilly that is dropping leaves?

I planted these a few weeks back and in a short space of a few days leaves have dropped. I am currently treating weekly with white oil.

I am hoping to a do rescue at this critical time. 

They are planted in large boxes with drainage. Daily watering although I’ve noticed there is good water retention as I have used new quality potting mix. I am cutting watering back to every second day. 

Have had nice weather in Perth with one distinctly hot day. 

Any recommended corrective and life saving actions? 6 plants are impacted. 

One thing I have noticed is there are lots of ground bugs or ants on two of the planters.

Hi Craig (@craisher),

I've spoken to Tina, the Gardening Coordinator at Bunnings Midland, and she's more than happy to return those plants for you. The team can then take a look at what's currently available that might suit your needs. There is no need to return the plants; just bring one of these pictures with you and your receipt, and she'll process the return. I recommend that you dispose of these plants in your rubbish at your earliest convenience to stop the spread of disease to any other plants in your garden.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mitchell
