What should I do if the gardenia wilts after I bought it?

1. Waiting for adaptation

When you buy gardenia, it will wilt if it is not adapted to the surrounding environment. In this case, there is no need to interfere too much. Just continue to take good care of it. There is no need to take special measures. Just place it in a diffuse light environment and it will recover after a period of time.

2. Reduce light

The plant has just been bought and has not yet fully adapted to the environment. If it is placed in a place with strong sunlight, the water in the leaves will be lost, causing it to wilt. You can first place it under diffuse light, expose it to soft light, wait for it to slowly adapt, 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 the plant in time after buying it. The lack of moisture in the potting soil makes it difficult for the plant to grow normally, and it will naturally wilt due to lack of water. After buying it, observe the condition of the soil in the pot, water the roots in time, and also spray water to maintain a good humidity range.

4. Proper pruning

Too many branches and leaves will cause excessive consumption of water, resulting in overall water shortage in the plant and inability to supply water. You can do some proper pruning to remove messy branches and leaves, and remove some of the too dense ones to reduce transpiration.
