The biggest mistake made in a xplant is not getting good contact between the rootball and the new medium.

This usually happens because the fresh medium is too dry. It needs to be moistened well BEFORE the transplant, worked in well with the fingertips (mush it down), and insure good contact with the fresh medium and all areas of the rootball. Bottom, sides, whatnot.

Then the whole thing needs to be REALLY watered in, sopping wet watered in. If there is any sort of gap/air pocket between the rootball and the fresh medium, the roots will NOT bridge this gap and grow into the fresh medium.

I do not feed at a xplant. With the new xplant that soggy, it takes 3-5 days at least to dry out. When dry, I water again, to run off and then feed the NEXT day and then on to whatever feed/water cycle you do.

After many years, I've found that nuting the day after a watering works best for the plant. The roots don't get shocked and the nutes seem to be absorbed better. Just my own observation.

Looks like transplant shock to me, but like this WetDog said. Make sure you blend the transplant in with the new medium.

How to Cure Plant Transplant Shock
While there is no sure-fire way to cure plant transplant shock, there are things you can do to minimize the transplant shock in plants.

Add some sugar – Believe or not, studies have shown that a weak sugar and water solution made with plain sugar from the grocery store given to a plant after transplanting can help recovery time for transplant shock in plants. It can also be used as a transplant shock preventer if applied at the time of transplanting. It only helps with some plants but, as this will not harm the plant, it is worth a try.

Trim back the plant – Trimming back the plant allows the plant to focus on regrowing its roots. In perennials, trim back about one-third of the plant. In annuals, if the plant is a bush type, trim back one-third of the plant. If it is a plant with a main stem, cut off half of each leaf.

Keep roots moist – Keep the soil well watered, but make sure that the plant has good drainage and is not in standing water.

Wait patiently – Sometimes a plant just needs a few days to recover from transplant shock. Give it some time and care for it as you normally would and it may come back on its own.
