transplanting monkey tail fern

Question

We transplanted a monkey tail fern that is a 8 ft tree. Since transplanting, all fronds have turned brown and we are fearful it will die – and we so want to keep this beautiful tree. Please advise what we can do. We had to move it by cutting down a bigger tree, leaving it exposed to full sun all day. Now in shade.

Answer 1

The larger a plant is, the more likely it is to go into transplant shock. It sounds as though yours may have transplant shock. This article will help you with dealing with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm
