@agoel6223 4 года назад

^i agree. You’re trying too hard. Try leaving it by a window and give it a good watering when the soil feels dry to the touch when you stick a finger in. Its simple. Don’t over do it. Over watering prevents the plant from getting oxygen.

Plant rescue is fun, but I just do not understand why stores do not take better care of their stock. They should not carry plants at all if they are going to just let them sit and die. What a waste of living things.

@@rockspoon6528 Corporate dictates they carry them, but that doesn't explain the poor management at stores that allow their stock to die. That is a $$$ loss for corporate.

@rockspoon6528 4 года назад

@@bkrbkrl you don't understand, most of that stock is not owned by the nursery. It's owned by the actual growers, so the store doesn't really lose anything directly, it's all indirect, as the grower will raise its prices if stores keep killing stock. The growers also audit the store and fine or ban them if conditions are egregious. It's a horribly wasteful system and it made me furious, just telling you how it is.

Good morning! I had watched this video of yours a little while back and love it. It was inspiring. Went to Wal-Mart yesterday. Wasn't expecting anything (early in the season) and there they were... EIGHT half-dead hydrangea plants with about two small hydrangea in each little decorative box. They were obviously meant for folks to buy them for Mother's Day gifts. About 10.00 a piece. Half the blooms were brown, drooping leaves and blooms. Told the manager he wouldn't be able to sell these at full price like this. I got them 10% off!!! Brought them home, gave them all a trim and watered them well. By this morning... they had perked right up! So, planting them today or tomorrow in a flower bed I wasn't going to work until next year. lol This was a gold mine. 8 young hydrangea plants neglected and left for dead and will fill that flower bed with color very soon! :)

@leilamandel7941 2 года назад

OMG, Greg, YOU ARE THE ONE that I`ve been looking for! I have bought a house with a patio and I love flowers, but I don`t know the FIRST THING about how to keep them alive. I have lost a lot of money due to that ignorance. I`ve been googling for years, but your video is EXACTLY what I prayed for. A one-step how to not let the hydrangea that I got from my son at Mother`s Day die before I got to plant it in the soil. In just 2 days, although I watered it, it started to look exactly like the plant you showed! It had lost all its color, the leaves dried out, and I thought it was hopeless. But you gave me hope. I am so grateful! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, from Freedom, PA, USA!

@noneedtoknow2885 2 года назад

Check the roots by removing the plastic pot. White roots are a good sign. It means the plant is healthy. Professional growers water their plants from underneath, meaning they soak water, like in the dish example. Depending on the weather they do that every few days. Hanging leaves is a sign to water.

It's amazing what a good watering will do to perk up the plants! one summer my mother went away she instructed us to water regularly which we did. Funny thing is I don't know what weeds look like. And they started to grow and just take over the entire garden! There was this planter that contained a small tree branch cutting that was lush in the beginning but was now looking almost dead, despite daily watering. That's when l figured the other green things in the planter were definitely weeds. I got rid of them and watered the plant throughly. At that stage, the dead leaves were easily knocked off and l thought it was a goner. Luckily new green leaf buds appeared and since the weather was good, the plant got lush again. what a freaking relief! It maybe took a month. My mom came back and she had to do a lot of weeding, lol.
