How do i revive a wilting crape myrtle plant?
Question: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.
Answers:
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!
It sounds like you may be over watering it. Have you guys had a lot of rain lately?
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.
