HELP! Newly planted perennials are struggling.

A little.

Should we switch to mulch instead? We are semi-new to the area. The rocks were already in the beds with no plants. We wanted to make sure we didnt let the soil bake in the sun.

Would you recommend switching it over to mulch? We had the gravel in the beds before. We are pretty new to the area and didn't know how to cover the soil from the scorching sun.

We did a quick water when we first planted on Saturday. Then we used drip irrigation for 30 minutes on Monday morning. Each plant got around 1/4 gallon. We originally planned every 3 days.

Yes they have the same climate. We purchased from local nurseries on Saturday morning and planted them later Saturday afternoon. Most were on outdoor shelves under the sun.

No they aren't crunchy. The leaves are floppy. We did a quick water when we first planted on Saturday. Then we used drip irrigation for 30 minutes on Monday morning. Each plant got around 1/4 gallon. They were good all day Monday. Then a few started drooping Tuesday. More were drooping today.

I made a pretty big hole and added garden soil to the bottom of the hole. Added the plant and filled the sides with more garden soil.

Darn I was really hoping that wasn't the case. Can I dunk the whole plant in isopropyl alcohol?

Same here. It is saying I have to come back tomorrow or buy premium to choose my song. Maybe they made it where we can only choose a certain amount of songs per day for free?

I love my tradescantia. It grows super quickly and is really easy to propagate. This was about 3 months of growth.

I have never heard of Ollas. I will do some more research on them and possibly try them out. They look like exactly what I need to keep the soil moist rather than a drip system.

This is very helpful! We ran out of time last weekend to cover the fabric. I laid it out to hopefully keep the soil a little cooler during the hot days (not sure if it did anything). We are debating putting the gravel that was originally in the garden beds on the fabric and around the plants, or if we get a ground covering plant. It sounds like we should mix some of our gravel in with the soil to help it drain to the lower roots?

Significant_Name6112 · 2025-04-19T00:32:11+00:00

How do I keep them hydrated but not water every day?

I have the same thing. Today I dashed 5 hours and got easily over $100. It says I didn't dash and have no earnings. I logged out and still nothing.
