I Found Some Common Mallow Plants

Question

I found some common mallow plants and dug them up and I gave them to my neighbor and she planted them in her front yard and now they turned brown and hard they look dead what did she do wrong. I’m sorry but I don’t know how to do any of those types of pictures

Answer 1

Did she plant them right away? Keep them watered every day till they established? It is hard to say what went wrong not knowing how she cared for them. They have a long taproot, which may have been severed when they were dug up.
