I'm so sad! This Dioon was in a pot in full sun, and the leaves were of a light green. I was told if I moved it to part shade, the leaves would look more lush. But I removed it from the pot and transplanted it to a raised bed, which now I think was a huge mistake!

One by one, all the leaves started drooping and turned brown. What did I do wrong??? Is it not getting enough water? Does it not like overhead sprinklers? Should I not have added osmocote to the planting whole?

Help, can this plant be saved?!
