i bought a red and a purple set of salvia's, on may 11 of this year and i planted them that saturday! and some of them are dieing! i bought some fertilizer for them and put some on them twice! but some of them are looking "ok", but some are not! i have a dog, and i was wondering if i put it's manure around they flowers would they come back healthy? plus i don't think i planted them deep enough! what should i do to keep them healthy! with out putting a hole in my pocket!
How do i keep my flowers alive!?
Remember, it's very common for plants to wilt and look as if they're dying when just transplanted. Cut back on the fertilizer, keep the soil moist, but not wet, mulch, and give them a little time. Salvia are pretty hardy, they should bounce back
Reply:Manure has to be aged before it helps.
Add fish emulsion (diluted) It does wonders!
Reply:Stop with the fertilizer so often.....Good soil (I use HUMUS for soil correction) MULCH! and water as needed. Don't use the doggie doo! You can use a water soluble fertilizer (like Miracle Grow) once a month or so after you have saved the plants. Are they getting plenty of sunlight?
