How to revive stressed potted natives?


hi team,

I bought these natives on the weekend and was instructed to repot them in the native potting mix. I kept them in the shade but they have immediately started to appear stressed. What can I do, please?

Re: stressed natives

Hello @Dawdiddles 

 

I suggest putting them out in the sun and watering them with a tonic such as Seasol 600ml Complete Garden Health Treatment. Please remember to develop a good watering habit and at the same time watch out for overwatering. Once your plants recover you can then plan on transplanting them into your garden.

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to know when to repot your plants by @Adam_W.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
