What should I do if the chrysanthemums wilt after I bring them home? The reasons and treatment methods for the chrysanthemums to wilt after I buy them

Why did the chrysanthemums I just bought wilt?

The phenomenon of wilting leaves of newly bought chrysanthemums is mainly caused by dehydration during transportation. Especially for chrysanthemum seedlings purchased online, in order to facilitate transportation, they usually do not come with flower pots, and their roots are mainly kept moist by wrapping plastic wrap.

But this will still cause a lot of water loss, so in a water-deficient environment, the leaves will naturally wilt. Experienced flower lovers usually know that the first thing to do after getting it is to let it grow slowly.

Instead of potting it directly, otherwise the plant will not be easy to grow. The same is true for chrysanthemums. We need to replenish water first, let it fully absorb water, and replenish the water lost during transportation as much as possible.

Reasons for wilting chrysanthemums and how to save them

1. Unsuitable environment

If you find that the newly bought chrysanthemums are wilting, it is likely because they are not suitable for the environment. The chrysanthemums we bought online or from the flower market have been kept in greenhouses for a long time. When they are suddenly placed in a new environment after purchase, they will inevitably be unable to adapt and thus wilt.

Treatment method : This situation is very common. At this time, we must strengthen the maintenance of the plants. Then control the light, water and ventilation conditions to allow the chrysanthemum to recover quickly.

2. Too much light

Chrysanthemums need sufficient diffused light to grow. However, the light in summer is strong and direct sunlight is very harmful to the plants. When buying new chrysanthemums, many flower lovers directly put them on the balcony for maintenance. The strong light in summer can easily cause sunburn to chrysanthemums, which makes them wilt.

Treatment method : At this time, we need to move the chrysanthemum or take shade measures for it. Under normal circumstances, it can be grown in a semi-shaded environment in summer, and it is not suitable for full light maintenance.

3. Overwatering

Chrysanthemums need appropriate moisture to grow. The key to watering is to water when the soil is dry and wet when it is wet. In daily maintenance, just keep the soil slightly moist. Newly bought chrysanthemums should be watered more carefully. Once watered too much, it is easy to cause the roots of the chrysanthemums to rot, resulting in the phenomenon of wilt.

Treatment method : At this time, we need to loosen the soil of the chrysanthemum. Then loosen the surrounding soil appropriately and strengthen ventilation conditions so that the chrysanthemum can quickly resume growth.

4. Excessive fertilization

Chrysanthemums need certain fertilizers for maintenance, but newly bought chrysanthemums cannot be fertilized. At this time, fertilization can easily cause fertilizer damage, burn the roots of chrysanthemums, and cause chrysanthemums to wilt.

Treatment method : At this time, we need to change the soil for chrysanthemums. Replace the new soil for maintenance. During the soil change process, the roots of the plants need to be trimmed and disinfected.
