Default Re: Will they make it???

Just remember most plant look pretty stressed once transplanted...yours will also.

Cut the broken leaves off ....a TRANSPLANTED plant does not need the broken leaves to flourish. At this point they are A LIABILITY(for your damaged roots to feed) and not an asset, especially if you do not have a nice size established root ball on the transplant.

Cutting them off is a personal preference, many people want a clean look.

I brought a plant out in the spring and all leaves broke within an hour in the light wind.
I cut them off....six weeks later I have four new ones.
Just my op.
