Both plants arrived on the dry side. One plant has dropped many of the brown dry leaves, the other appears to be coming back around. I water plants twice a week and yet it’s looking like one definitely will not survive.

One plant arrived in good shape. The 2nd plant looked very dry and the roots were tight and dry. I planted it and so far it's not recovering. Can I exchange this item ??

DISAPPOINTED
Plant looked good when I received, but now(after 3 weeks) it is slowly dying. Looked up “how to grow” & tried everything. Nothing seems to help 😒

    The Bottlebrush plant arrived safe and sound. It was packaged really well and already shows new growth but I guess it will be a while before I see any brushes.

      The plants arrived looking healthy, and were plant 2 days later. Over the next week and a half, the leaves started browning on the tips of most of them. Bed is irrigated with shrub bubblers at the base of each plant. They are hanging on, see what happens.

      I bought two plants. They were delivered completely dry and unhealthy. I am trying to nurse them back to health but they are struggling. I followed planting instructions and put them in a great morning sun spot. Very disappointed, pictures shows a beautiful plant.

      It's been declining since the moment I got it about 2 weeks ago. I couldn't figure out why leaves kept dropping and then today I discovered it has powdery mildew. It wasn't cheap and I'm not even sure how to begin to return it. At this point I'm just afraid it's going to spread to my other plants

      We had a freeze (30 degrees) in Calabash and I covered the plants overnight, but the new growth on this bush died off, even though it was covered with a sheet and a bucket.

      New Orleans: Bought 4 plants. All received in good slightly dry condition. Watered them on receipt and again the next day. Two days later the leaves on 2 plants were dried up and the other 2 were normal green despite all four being located together on the patio. Planted all 4 across the front of the house (facing east) giving them equal sunlight and water with automatic sprinkler system once a day. After 2 weeks, 2 look great & the other 2 have essentially no leaves. I am hoping that they will come back.
