Hey Guys,

New here to this web site and to the world of ornamental grassess. I need some help with a question about Dwarf Maiden Grass. I picked up a few plants at the nursery a couple of weeks ago and was told that they would do fine as large scale container grown plants. I repotted them and they now seem to be dying off. The leaves are turning a light purple color then fading to brown and drying out. I t looks like there is plenty of new growth from below but the outsides are looking really sick. Should I try a different soil mixture. I currently put them into a soil mix from the big hardware store that contained a time released fertalizer and I've read on here that Maiden grass doesn't particularly like to be fertilized or should I just wait it our and hope it's just transplating shock and the situation will right itself in a week or so and I can prune off the dead leaves. Any help you can provide a newbie to this world would be much appreciated.

Chris
