I had to do an impromptu transplant of what I believe to be a camellia that is 3' tall today. Moved it to an area with lower quality soil, but was sure to mix moonure + osmocote into the hole and use a root stimulator solution on transplant. The plant was shaded at the time of transfer. I tried my best to get the entire root ball, but this plant has been in the yard since it originally sprouted, so there is no doubt I could have hacked a significant root or two, but for the most part I think it was a good intact root ball. The plant was literally out of the ground for less than 3-4 minutes, tops.

Three hours after the transfer, I noticed that the new grown at the tips was wilting back, so I gave it a little extra water. Went back out a few hours later (~7 hours after transplant?) to look at it, and it doesn't look like much has changed.

Interestingly enough, the rest of the established leaves are nice, firm, rigid.

Is this transplant shock?

I have found a lot of tidbits online about trees and roses having transplant shock, but not any other shrubs. I can take pics if the description isn't blatantly obvious already.

If this sounds like transplant shock, does anyone have advice on what to do about this?

Thanks!
