One day your plants look healthy, the next theyβre drooping, yellowing, and stunted. By the time you notice the signs of transplant shock, itβs already too late.
Plants donβt just βget overβ transplant shock. When you move them, delicate feeder roots are damaged, soil health breaks down, and water uptake stalls. Growth can slow for weeks β if the plant survives at all. For fall gardens, that lost time is fatal. Every day counts when youβre racing against the season.
