1. Is it lack of water?

2. How to solve

Olivia's wilting leaves must be due to lack of water. However, the lack of water may be due to insufficient watering, or it may be due to root damage that affects the absorption of water, so it is necessary to use medicine accordingly. If the water is not enough, add water appropriately, but do not water too much at once to avoid water accumulation and flooding the roots. If the roots are damaged, they need to be removed from the pot and pruned, and placed in a semi-shady place to wait for recovery. At the same time, cooling work must be done to reduce water loss.

1. Is it lack of water?

The wilting of Olivia’s leaves is usually due to lack of water. However, the causes of water shortage are different. If you water blindly, not only will it not improve, but it will also make the situation more serious. Therefore, it is generally necessary to check the cause to see whether it is due to a dry environment and lack of water, or whether it is a lack of water due to root problems.

2. How to solve it

1 2. Proper watering: If it is caused by insufficient watering for a long time or due to a relatively dry climate, you need to water the plants in time, but do not water too much at one time. After long-term water shortage, the root system's ability to absorb water will be weakened. Too much water will not be conducive to absorption, and may also affect its respiration, which is not conducive to its growth.

2. Remove the pot and trim the roots: If it is due to root rot , affecting the absorption of water and nutrients, and can also cause the leaves to wilt. What needs to be done at this time is to take the plant out of its pot, remove the old soil from the roots, cut off the rotten parts, and put it in a semi-shady place to dry. Then replant it. Do not water it during the seedling slowing down period until it recovers.

3. Shade and cooling: Olivia's lack of water may also be caused by the temperature being too high or the light being too strong, which intensifies plant transpiration. Therefore, attention should be paid to shading to prevent the plants from being exposed to light for a long time. You can also spray water appropriately around them to maintain good ventilation and achieve cooling through water evaporation.

4. Prune flower stems: Olivia if it blooms , will continue to consume water and nutrients from the leaves. In this case, the flower stems need to be cut off to block them at the source, and then watering can truly replenish the leaves.
