I'd give it a generous amount of seasol solution and then keep it moist with seasol until it recovers, keep it in the shade and out of the wind it possible. Make sure what you've got in the pot is good quality potting mix (without added fertilizer), not soil, but if you put soil in it wait until it recovers before you disturb it again. The key to successful transplanting is preparation. I did try to email you a response as well but your email address didn't work. Are you giving it seasol?

I dug down and the tap root went down another 30 centermetres - so I dug it out with the root ball. I potted this in with the plant, and have the grevilla in a large pot in the best soil, in shade and the soil moist. Please what will happen and how can I keep this plant alive, 24hours after the transplant - the leaves are drying up.
