I agree that it’s a really difficult time for larger plants to establish and begin supporting themselves. One thing I’ve found helpful, and that I tell everyone receiving one of our plants during the season, is to water more deeply and less frequently to promote the kind of root growth that will provide better resilience during dry and/or hot periods
