4. Proper pruning

If the gardenia wilts just after you buy it, you can leave it for a while and it will recover on its own as it gets used to it. If it is exposed to strong light, it needs to be moved in time, maintained under astigmatism, and exposed to soft light. It is also necessary to replenish water and spray water on the leaves to maintain a good humidity range. Too many branches and leaves will cause excessive water consumption, resulting in the overall lack of water in the plant and wilting, so it can be pruned appropriately.

1. Waiting for adaptation

Gardenias will wilt when they are not adapted to the surrounding environment just after they are bought. In this case, there is no need to interfere too much, just continue to be careful. Maintenance is enough, no special measures are needed, just put it in an astigmatic environment and it will recover after a period of time.

2. Reduce light

The plant itself has just been bought and has not fully adapted to the environment. If it is placed in a place with strong sunlight, the water in the leaves will be lost, and wilting will occur. You can first place it under astigmatism, exposed to soft light, wait for it to adapt slowly, and then spray water on the leaves.

3. Replenish water

It may be that there is no moisture in the potting soil, and you did not water it in time when you bought it. The lack of water in the potting soil makes it difficult for the plants to grow normally, and they will naturally wilt due to lack of water. After buying it, observe the condition of the soil in the pot, apply water to the roots in time, and spray water to maintain a good humidity range.

4. Proper pruning

Too many branches and leaves will cause excessive consumption of water, resulting in an overall lack of water in the plant and inability to supply it. You can prune appropriately to remove messy branches and leaves, and remove some branches that are too dense to reduce transpiration.
