Q.Transplanted small plant, now leaves all wilting
Received a lovely, multi-plant arrangement gift basket which sat in bright room, no direct sun for approx 5 weeks. Transplanted each plant into individual pots but within a week, the Bush on Fire Croton has wilted horribly, leaves are completely drooping down (some even falling off). It was Was placed in a sunny, east window, no drafts or heating threats. What happened?! Did it not adjust to the new location and go into shock? Any hope it’ll revive? Thank you.

It is hard to keep a dish garden going. When you moved them out, I'm sure transplant shock was involved. Here is more information:
