So it’s tricky if you’re not familiar with what you planted into exactly. Is it getting too much light and heat? Is the ground holding too much water?
Transplanting will shock the plant no matter what. There may be a few weeks where it says because the water amount in the soil changes, the nutrients shift, or the amount of air in the soil isn’t the same.
The best thing you can do to try and figure out what’s going on is dig a hole a few feet away about as deep as you planted these at, and see where the moisture level is. If it’s dry, then you know you’re probably under watering them. If it’s wet, then wait a few days and see if it perks up.
It’s also good to recognize that not all the plants you’ve planted in the same area require the same amount of water. If you planted some that need less water with some that need more water, you may need to alter how much you’re delivering to the different types.
The last thing I’ll say is that if you didn’t dig and aerate the soil where you planted these, or include a good base of loose compost, there’s a chance they are just adjusting. Sandy/clay soils hold a lot more water than they might be expecting, and they may drop from the beginning of root rot. Just dig nearby and try to figure it out.
