What to do if the leaves of the newly bought gardenia are drooping?
Complete Flower Care
The gardenia just bought home often has drooping leaves, especially commonly seen in large-leaf gardenias.
1. Low humidity. Many gardenias at the flower market are maintained in greenhouses, where the air humidity is high. However, the humidity at home is generally low, and the dry temperature can cause the leaves to droop.
2. Weak root system. The leaves, new leaves, and flower buds of the gardenia just bought home have a high demand for water, but the low humidity at home causes the gardenia to obtain enough water only from the root system, increasing the burden on the roots, causing the tender leaves and flower buds to wilt first, followed by the entire leaf.
What to do if the gardenia wilts
Solutions:
1. If the gardenia droops after being bought home, water it using the immersion method and find a plastic bag to cover the entire gardenia, placing it in a bright place with scattered light. Open the plastic bag to ventilate at noon every day when the temperature is high, and remove the bag once the leaves become firm.
2. If flower enthusiasts find it too troublesome to cover with a bag, they can place it in the bathroom. Use stones or something else to elevate the gardenia pot and then sprinkle water around the pot to increase the air humidity.
