I feel your pain. I came to the conclusion some time ago that nature is king, not us, and sometimes conditions beyond our control lead to success or otherwise. I read an article recently which initially I thought bonkers, that the best time to sow seeds is at a full moon! Something is going on though.
We can kill with kindness. Potting up my 45 tomato plants I thought it a good idea to add a small amount of blood, fish and bone. NOT a good idea! My most valuable crop did not look happy one bit. In a panic I spent hours re-potting sans my unhelpful addition and now thankfully toms have recovered and I'm suitably chastened.
I would replant your Indian Holly Fern and then leave it alone as maybe it will be happier that way.   

I wonder if it might have just been initial transplant shock?

By the way have you planted your rose yet?

Happy to see that my mint (your basic spearmint sort) survived; I thought that I had lost it.  Am thinking about moving it to a different part of the garden which gets some shade.  At the moment it's between some flagstones on a path that I attempted to create in my garden.  I'm thinking that it's getting baked too much there and I'd really like to get a bigger patch of it.

Sorely tempted to grow some tomatoes this year as I miss them.  The trick is:  how to keep chipmunks from getting at them!

They had more of a shock shaking blood, fish and bone from roots, K. Tomatoes are fully recovered and happy now. They are resilient plants although sensitive to temperatures below 10c.

Rose in. I now have access to huge mountain of well rotted horse manure so rose has a good start to life.

Mint is tough, in fact can be if conditions allow, a thug. Thrives in wet conditions.

Out of curiosity, were the additives all dehydrated, etc. (I would guess)?

Mint has done better when trying to escape down the hill (amongst groundcover) towards the neighbor's house! lol  I do love it and am trying to find a place to keep it happy.
