transplant shock
Post-move plant stress
Transplant shock is the stress a plant experiences when moved to a new location, often causing wilting, leaf drop, or slowed growth as the root system adjusts.
The term extends to people struggling to adapt after relocation: She's still dealing with transplant shock after moving cross-country.
Most plants recover with proper care; most people do too.
