I bought a country crape myrtle plant a few feet high a few weeks ago. I planted it in my backyard here in texas. I watered it everday like it said, put root stimulater, and potting soil mixed with the dirt. Now its wilting. What am i doing wrong? How can i revive it? The leaves are still nicely green but wilted.
How do i revive a wilting crape myrtle plant?
u shouldn't have fertilized it till it was established! cut back the water to once a week... even though it's a new plant! if it don't recover within a few days.. take it back up and put it back in it's original container to let it dry out... then retry planting... without so much water!
Reply:Crape Myrtles are tough trees-- make sure you aren't over watering or over fertilizing it. That will cause the plant to wilt and/or burn.
Reply:It sounds like you may be over watering it. Have you guys had a lot of rain lately?
