Goji Berry shrubs usually do fine with the sun & heat - love it, in fact. Here's some things to check for Amber...

If your little Goji seedlings are in small black or dark green pots, the roots could be cooking, and this would be the cause of wilt followed by death. Shield the pots from heat or repot into white containers.

Also...

Goji berry plants are extra appealing to insects, and spider mites will take them down in the blink of an eye. Be sure to check the undersides of your Goij leaves for evidence of mites. They can go undetected if you're not expecting them or looking for them, and before you know it your plant is dead.

Apart from that, keeping them in the shade for awhile is a good idea. Any plant that's in distress will not like the sun and should be protected for now until you figure out what's going on. Don't fertilize while the plants are distressed either.

Be sure too that your shrubs are in a good light and well-draining soil, so the roots are not struggling in a heavy medium.

Good luck with them, Amber. Hope they do better for you soon.
