The one that was planted regular seems to be doing ok but the one deep planted seems to be very droopy. The leaves are now pretty much hanging straight down to the ground. The leaves on both were a bit beat up to start with but they were ok. Did I plant this thing too deep? I am also worried the soil might be too heavy and I did not amend it enough (I have read online to deep plant you should just fill the hole with peat and compost or lose soil?). I did not add a great amount of peat moss or compost and manure (I think also very little sand) but I had a palm tree planted in this spot a couple season ago so it was amended then also. I added a picture of it to the gallery but not sure how to link it here. Should I try to amend the soil better? replant it or just leave it alone?
