Re: Help with H. americana!

Have you considered a foliar spray to retard evapotranspiration and/or some kind of high P-K drench to kick-start root growth?

Hi guys,

I ordered 18 Hepatica americana in large pots from Bluebird Nursery,
but they look like they had just been repotted because their root
systems were small and some had fallen out of the pots in shipment.

I repotted them all upon receipt and they seemed to be doing well, but
now, two weeks later, a whole bunch of them have wilted. The soil is
moist and there's no water or visible fungus.

The only plants that seem to be suffering are the ones that had small
root systems (about 3/4 of them). Does anyone have any suggestions
to revive these babies before the whole crop fails?

Thanks!

Chris
