    Hello,

    We have recently moved and have transplanted many plants from the garden (property is going to be redeveloped, garden destroyed) to gardens of friends and family as we have not yet purchased a property with garden space. I have potted a favourite Augustini so that I can take it with me to my future garden. After a month, it is not doing well; leaves are browning, and drooping. What do you suggest i do to help it survive?

    Maybe it froze, maybe the potting soil has gotten too wet...

    If it isn't quite apparently a goner already, seems like it could be helped knock it out of the pot and look at the roots and soil. Fresh soil, bigger pot might produce a response if conditions at the root (other than cold damage or fatal root rot) are the problem (as they often are - as the roots go, so goes the top).
