It Died ... So, Now What?
It died so now what? You bought that flower or plant you have been wanting. You planted it, cared for it, but ... it died. Now what are your options?
Once in a while you are going to do everything just right. You will pick the perfect location with the right amount of sun/shade ratio. You will prepare the soil so it has just the right amount of organic matter to give it the perfect pH balance for the plant. You will put it in the hole at the perfect depth and water it religiously for a couple of weeks.
But ... as you sit back to wait for the growth to start, it seems a little slow. That is okay though. You are patient knowing that it takes the plant a little time to get settled in and establish a good root system for sustained growth.
However ... the growth never occurs. The plant does not grow. Instead, it dies.
Now what do you do?
First, put away the tissue box. Second, find the receipt from the retailer where you purchased the plant.
Now you can decide if you want to:
* Purchase the same plant to try again
Sometimes the plant itself may be diseased or too weak to survive transplanting.
* Purchase a plant in the same family but a different variety
That bright yellow Asiatic Lily, Dreamland, could be replaced with the bright yellow Daylily, Siloam Harold Flickinger, for instance.
*Purchase a completely different plant for that are
Rather than an Asiatic Lily or Daylily, leave the lily family altogether and plant the bright yellow of Coreopsis, Early Sunrise.
Whichever option you choose, you are sure to be glad you chose to replant it and try again.
