Re: How to revive Lilly pilly after replanting?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @AR11. It's marvellous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Lilly pilly care.

It sounds like your Lilly pilly hedge is experiencing some transplant shock, which is quite common after replanting. When the roots are disturbed, plants can show signs of stress, like drooping leaves. 

 

To help your plants recover, ensure they are getting enough water, but be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. The soil should be consistently moist for the first few weeks. Applying a seaweed solution, such as Seasol, can reduce transplant stress and promote root growth. Simply mix it with water and apply it to the base of the plants. 

 

Additionally, mulching around the base can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, though avoid letting the mulch touch the stems. If your plants are in direct sunlight, consider providing some temporary shade to reduce stress.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
