Do you think this will harden and survive? i don't want to transplant as i have a third one too that i moved and its not doing good at all.... But has started new growth so i am hopeful that it will recover!

Ps is it ok to mist during the hot days?????

Bud,

That all depends on your weather, although I would wager to say it will recover. Misting is ok but they really need to be watered for a minimum of 15 minutes on really hot days (95+ degrees). Mine were in hot dry conditions last year (Southeast drought) and they survived with a little help from illegal watering.

Hope this helps
