Why has my freshly transplanted English Ivy withered?

I dug up some English Ivy from my daughter's yard yesterday. They were nice big pieces that already had roots. I planted them in well prepared beds in a semi-shaded area and of course, watered them immediately. It rained today so I didn't have to water. The Ivy looks all withered, the leaves are limp and sort of curling in on themselves. Did I do something wrong? Although I have gardened for almost 20 years, I have no experience with Hedera Helix.

it should be fine. keep it moist until it gets established. the wind will also make it look wilted.
Reply:i didn't understand - did u water it when u planted or because it was raining u decided not to cos it was raining anyway? u always should water plants after planting them, no matter how hard and much it is raining - it is for earth to get rid of air. also if u took sprouts and it was for some time their roots were exsposed before u planted them u should have put them in a water first to get water tension. i suggest u cover them with plastic bag to get water retension back
Reply:one of several things could cause this, You maybe have transplanted into a spot with to high or to low of pH. You may not be watering enough, or you maybe be watering to much. Did you use any fertilizer? You may have burned the roots if the mix was to strong. Hope this helps a bit
Reply:It's probably just in shock which will wither the leaves and make them curl, most plants go into shock when you transplant them. In two or three days it should be fine...not to worry english ivy is a hardy plant it will fine. Just make sure to keep watering and not let the area dry out for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Hope this helps.
Reply:It should come out of it.....Just got a little shock maybe........
