mcvansoest said:I would test how well rooted the in the ground plant is. Just grab the upright central leaves and give them a good shake and a little tug. If it feels solidly rooted then it is probably just something to do with the location and/or the soil the plant is in. If it is not solidly rooted then you will want to inspect the plant for any kind of insect infestation around the roots. If it looks clean you will probably want to stick it in a pot and give it a little more shade to see if it recovers.


I'm back to the land of the electronically living again. Rolling my eyes. Computer problems resolved. Anyhow, tested the plant as you suggested. It is rooted well. So my guess is it hates its location or soil. I'm going to see if it does a little better since we just good a good rain again last night and the temps are cooling down.

If there's still no improvements in about 2 or 3 weeks I'll have to dig it up and check the roots and if o.k. just pot it and put it in the back yard on the patio where it can receive some shade part of the day.
To boldly grow where no man has lawn before.
