Question
Steph –
Hey Richo! I got a small transplant with about 3 leaves from a friend. It is in full sun and gets watered about twice a week. It almost appears all the leaves are burnt, my datura fastuosa from ya’ll was very healthy then all the leaves like burnt/are dropping off upon transplant. are they just very dramatic when transplanted? Do you have any tips to help them along?

Hi Steph, This is typical with datura of all species–they tend to suffer until they kick in, and then you can’t hold them back. Sunlight and very fast-draining soil, a warm exposure, this is what they need. Too much watedr around the roots and the leaves will fall off. richo
