Yes, I would think so. Provided the water is reaching the root zone. In my location, on an in ground planting, if the soil of the root ball is simply planted it tends to fail because it doesn't match the poor, hard red clay of the natural soil. There are two results that are invariably fatal. One is that water fills the planting hole and the plant drowns; the other is that the clay leaches the moisture from the old root ball soil and it doesn't actually receive any moisture. I've had to learn from experience to bring the soil types into a closer match. For me, that's usually modifying the natural clay and also removing most of the root ball soil and incorporating it with the red clay. This may not apply in your case. Sometimes if a plant gets too dry, it's nearly impossible to get the soil in a container moist again by simply adding water to the top of the container. It simply runs out the drain hole. If the container is small enough it can be sat in water to soak it up from the bottom, then that's a method that works. Otherwise I find it difficult to achieve. Can you check shortly after watering to see if the soil around the roots is damp or remains dry?
