yellow & falling leaves

Question

Planted new Rose of Sharon 5 days ago and some leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Is this normal, or can I do something to correct?

Answer 1

Plants often lose some leaves because of the stress of changed environment and soil moisture. Make sure to water your plant well every couple of days for the first 2 or 3 weeks, then every week for the next 2 or 3 months.
