Why Are My Okra Plants Wilting?

Question

I planted the okra two weeks ago, from a 6-pack. The plants were doing well. I put Miracle Gro tomato plant food on all the plants in my garden and only the orka looks wilted. The ground around the plants looks wet. Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

It could be transplant shock or it could be that the excess water in the soil is smothering the roots. If it is transplant shock, this article will help:

If it is too wet soil, you will have to wait it out and hope the plants survive.
