How to revive newly planted bush pearl kangaroo paw?

PLANTHELP

I planted 3 x bush pearl kangaroo paw 4 days ago and they look unwell. I mixed some sand into the the soil where I was planting them into the garden bed and raised them up a bit.  Applied Seasol but a few days later they looked dry and not well? What should I do?

Hello @PLANTHELP 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your pearl kangaroo paws.

I suggest checking the base of your plant and see if it is damp or moist. Once established, pearl kangaroo paws are relatively drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. Water deeply during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. I suggest holding off on the watering and allowing the soil to dry off before you start watering again.
