Please help me save my white sage!! Appreciate any help. 🙏🏼 I’ve had it almost 3 weeks and it was wilty after a week. I resisted watering when the soil was still moist. I repotted it into the terracotta pot last saturday, and by Sunday the leaves were crunchy. And today, even more crunchy/droopy, as seen in the 3rd pic. Thoughts? Tips? I’m invested, but very new to plant care 🙈🤯

Is it getting direct sun ? If they’re crunchy maybe try moving it to a shadier spot

Ok, I thought it needed direct sun. So confusing! I am in LA area and we’ve had a super hot summer so maybe it’s been too much. I’ll try more shade. Thank you Bri!

Yessss if that’s the case I would definitely put it in a shadier area, I’m also in CA more north so i know what you mean with the heat ! My cucumbers were doing the same thing I switched it up put them in more shade and they loved that so much more.
