I can’t figure out what is wrong with my Japanese aralia. I don’t think it is lack of light or rot. I just bought it and planted in ground 4 days ago.

Did you make sure to untangle the roots and knock off the excess soil from it being potted? Have you watered it sufficiently? What type of sun/shade does it get? It looks like it needs more water, or I would check for bugs as well.

Yes did all of that made sure I had good drainage before I planted also

It gets full afternoon sun but is in well lit area in garden just not direct in the morning.

If you bought it from a store was it also getting full sun there? Could be that it’s not used to direct sun and it’s burning?

### New gardener ha commentato il 2025-05-22

No not direct sun it was under the tarp thingy that Lowe’s uses. Mine only gets direct in the late after noon and the care instructions said that was good
