Water your lawn
Brand new Zoysia plugs are like any other new plant. They need water and nutrients to become established. After harvesting, processing and shipping, they can dry out. They need water.
Once the plugs are in the ground, they will need 15 minutes of water per day for 3 weeks. Every day. Really. If it rains, don’t drag your hose out, but if it doesn’t rain… water your lawn.
Zoysia is drought tolerant, but that is AFTER it becomes established. It needs that solid root base to get started.
