Transplanted Chindo Viburnum Wilting: Shock, Water Correctly

Two 6-ft, 2-year Chindo viburnums transplanted 3 days ago in Virginia spring; wilting despite watering.

Transplant Shock

Large plants = severe shock. Check soil moisture 1 inch down—dry = water more; damp = okay.

Care

• Water as needed (damp, not soggy).
• Expect some leaf loss.
• Fertilize lightly when new growth appears.

Recovery may take weeks.
