We have bought probably about 10 Voltage yellow osteospermum and have lost , so far , 5. They are getting plenty of water, but within a week or so of being planted they just curl up and die. Any thoughts?

Hi Kerry, that is unusual especially as they are dying within a week of being planted. Can you see any sign of disease or insect pests? How often have you been watering them, and have you fed them with anything? We recommend using Seasol seaweed based plant tonic when planting to reduce transplant shock and feeding with Seasol every 2-4 weeks for an extra boost. Thanks, Jenna - Tui Team
