Moon Flower Transplant Prob

18 years ago

I transplanted my moonflowers the other day and now they look like they are dying. The leaves are withering and look dried out and some even look whiteish. I had two that were about 10 inches high and the others are around four inches. The two larger ones look bad. Is this normal for transplanting and will they come back??? I did use a little transplant root stimulator on them also. HELP!

Exactly how did you transplant them? Moonflowers don't like to be transplanted. Were they in peat pots? Or some other container?

I left them in peat pots. Looks like I'm going to lose them. I guess I'm going to have to start over and plant them sooner, I think that was my mistake....waiting until they got too big before transplanting them. Live and learn!!
