Ok, so don't laugh too hard, but an update says it was just Fall and leaves were suppose to drop on my plant. She has come back several times, and is now taller than me Thank you all so much. I learned a lot with this forum and was able to apply this to many of my other plants too! Tysm!

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it's been under a week since the move?

Welcome! If she perks up with watering she needs more water. Is it possible the rootball dried out? If that happens the solution is to soak the pot in a container of water until it is heavy when you pick it up. Pouring water over an excessively dry rootball just results in the water running through and out of the pot without getting soaked in. I don't understand how you are watering a potted plant for 20 minutes? Is that with a sprinkler system? You need to use a watering can and apply enough that the weight increases, or leave the sprinkler on for longer, but I would first soak it in a tub to re-wet it.

Sue is making an excellent point. Soak the pot. Smiling

Just one thought. The black pot? It may get to hot when exposed to direct sun. Things will cook here and more so if the soil is wet.

I have a lot of plants where leaves fold in when they are thirsty, a good indicator. @bhart90

It's not the air temperature that matters so much. It is sunlight on a black surface. Just feel the pot when it's been in the sun for awhile and then you'll know if it's an issue or not. Shrug!

Hi Shaliquinn,

My wisteria really hated me until I planted it. She lost over 1/2 of the leaves but, once it was planted it did a lot better
and even bloomed twice this year. Hopefully your's is like mine Crossing Fingers! and gets Happy once in the ground :)

your potting mix looks like garden soil or topsoil it may do better in a quality potting mix so the roots can breath.

is your veggies and pot in pots or raised beds with the potting soil? I noticed a few raised beds in the background that's why I ask
