I live in Florida and planted a couple of Cascades and a couple of Zeus since folks seem to have a lot of luck with those around here. My zeus are doing fine (middle image), however much to my surprise the cascades are off to a rough start. Planted around a month ago, the leaves are looking withered but they're not dry or brittle to the touch. They get hit with the sprinklers around 10+ mins a day in the early morning then full sunlight. The soil is a mix of sand and potting soil plus some Milorganite fertilizer for nitrogen. I also spray some organic 3-in-1 weekly or so, although my zeus have been growing so that some leaves are unprotected and have been getting chewed on.
What do you think I'm doing wrong with the cascades?
