    They are tolerant of being cut back severely. In fact, a mature holly can generally be cut to the ground and will regrow vigorously from its roots.
    Give the Holly time to recover!

    They will, actually, adapt to almost any amount of light. They will appreciate some shade, but they will grow just fine without it, as well.

    Some types will be more tolerant of broader conditions, but most adapt to just about anything.

    Mycorrhizal fungus inoculation won't be enough to improve drainage and reduce standing water. Consider repotting with a better draining soil. You can inoculate the new soil with beneficial soil biology at that time.
