Plants wilting?

So about two two days ago I noticed my plants were wilting and falling over. I tied them with a piece of string and stick to keep them up. Why do you guys think they started to wilt and fall over? I transplanted them from small pots too soil about a week and a half ago.

They are each in a 2 foot by 2 foot hole filled with Kelloggs natural patio mix. I also added about 2-3 handfuls of mulch and I also added some more perlite as the Kelloggs didn't have enough.

The older one on the right isn't wilting as bad.

So you transplanted them about 10 days ago, they were fine for 8 days, then they all wilted in unison? And you did nothing different a day or so before they wilted? That doesn't make sense, something significant happened.

They have kind of a ratty growth form, kind of look like clones taking from a plant in flower with alternate branching. Maybe I'm imagining that, but they just seem to have a weird groth form.

Anyway, they look really poor, sorry, just my opinion. I'd be looking for some new seed or clones.

Well, according to you they wilted about Sunday, two days ago, after strong winds Thur, Fri & Sat, so you may be on to something there.

If you had strong enough sustained wind (like 50mph+) and they were getting thrashed for 3 days I guess that is possible. They actually look broken down like they went through a major downpour rain with wind & hail actually, but I'm sure you would have mentioned that if it happened.

Kind of at a loss, they just look physically beat up.

So are they clones?

Who said they were indoors?


They have been outside since they sprouted which was on March 13th for the older one and the March 16th for the other one.

They both also had a good root system.

This is how they looked a few days after I transplanted them.

Ok, helpful. They looked good and I can see they are from seed.

Sorry, I'm clueless. Never have seen wind do this to any type of plant, but it's possible I guess.

They have been exposed to the outdoors since they sprouted.


I gace them some B12 yesterday in case they went into shock. so hopefully that will help.

i would have let them grow a bit more before transplanting, it seems a bit young to be getting put in the ground! a more mature plant would have had a batter chance :) good luck anyhoo

just water them and then take a 2 liter bottle or a gallon milk jug, cut the bottom off and take the lid off and put them over your plants for a few days. perhaps give them a touch of shade as its been pretty hot already. also water those every day with like a red solo cup worth of water.

. It looks like your plants don't like you soil. It does look kind of sad. The timing would indicate that your root system has finally spread into the surrounding soil, and they don't like it. My bet is the dirt. Best of luck.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Well turns out the are not wilting but twisting from excess heat ( I live in a dry area.)

Well I decided to put up a sheet to cover them from the afternoon sunlight.

I have a third plant in a different location and that gets less sunlight (around 5 hours) and that one is completely normal.


Hopefully they will bounce back in a week or two. [/FONT]
