Okay this morning i bought two new plants, and they told me they were outside plants,

after i planted them for about 5 hours the sun got very strong, now the leaves look and feel very week, what can i do?

i sprayed water on them and i think it helped

PS: i don't know what kind the plants are, all i know is they r outside plants.
 
If the plants were being kept inside they may be suffering from some degree of shock at being suddenly in bright sun. There is some shock because of transplanting. Add water to the base of the plants right away, and then daily for a week or so. That will get water directly to the roots. Depending on how big the plants are, anything from a pint to a couple of quarts would be appropriate.
 
If they were not sitting in the sun when you bought them, they are burning from too much sun.

If they were in sun when you bough them, then it sounds like simple transplant shock. Don't spray water on the leaves (especially if there is direct sun on them - you could burn them more); water the GROUND. It's the roots that need the water. The roots then move the water up to the leaves.
 
I water my plants in the early morning and late evening to keep the water from scorching the leaves when the sun hits them. Try some miracle grow transplant it helps when you've just planted something into the ground so it doesn't get too much change. best of luck!
