Thank you! Got one for Valentine's Day from my son and it's already shriveling up. I don't know how to take care of plants or even this Kalanchoe but I don't want it to die😊
I feel it's my duty to rescue them when they're like that it really pisses me off when I go to Walmart and see them all dying I literally want to get the hose and give them all water Walmart has the worst Nursery ever they just kill off those poor Plant
I am notorious for buying the dying discount plants. I love giving them new life, it's very satisfying! Thanks for showing others how to bring green back to life.
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.
@@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.
it sucks that Bunnings (australia) dont reduce plants ... right in the middle of summer when its desperately late to do anything with basil or tomato seedlings they are charging full price
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!
I do the exact opposite. I purchase a beautiful plant and somehow after watering, fertilizing, using neem oil solution and a full spectrum uv light on them I can still manage to ruin them.
^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.
@@agoel6223 and you were both exactly right. A month later the diffenbachia is doing great...once I took your advice and stopped obsessing. A sunny window and watering only when it's dry and it's thriving. Thanks!
Same, Phins, same! My friends and family call me "The Black Thumb." I have the dubious honour of killing anything and everything plant wise. Recently visited a friend I Western Sydney and saw 3 plants ( herbs ) for $10. Two days later and they are absolutely - and irrefutably dead! I've tried reviving them.but I think I have drowned them...whoops.
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! :)
It’s not greed they just want to get some money back that they spent on it before taking a complete loss and since there are ppl that buy them at that stage/price it works for both parties
@@ElinWinblad I've worked in a supermarket, those dying, or dead plant are just return to the vendors and get a credit. It's just sad that most employees just let the plant die for it's not their job to water it. It will take a responsible manager or employee to take care of those plants.
Truth Hurts depends on store. Walmart for example has set schedule for watering but doesn’t always get done. But in the end it’s just plants dying adding to nature’s circle of life.
wao not again god is really, wonderful my two leg's was afflected by enimes's I couldn't work before now God used a spiritual herbalist Dr idialu to save my life finally th-cam.com/users/shortsD6UBT8lKYcw?feature=share
It would be a good project for kids, giving them a chance to have their own plants. and perhaps they may enjoy gardening as a great hobby later on.. Thanks for sharing !!!
Hi I do. Especially because it's reduced in price. I rescued a few orchids. Very well and alive now. Love flower plants. Don't have much of a garden, so I keep them in pots. I also keep plant cutting in water till shoots roots like gardenia. I used rooting powder and planted bougainvillea. Little plant with beautiful flowers. Gives much pleasure. Take care love from sunny South Africa.
I grabbed two bushes out of the nursery garden dumpster yesterday (I asked). I gave them water when I got home right in the grocery bags they were still in, and today, I think I can plant them! Potentillas, I think. Talk about luck! Of course, I also bought a bunch of stuff I probably didn’t need as well❣️
Hell, You are a kind person not only loveable to plants. Plants can't talk but they have life, they harmonize with human and nature. Thanks for sharing. I am watching from Canada 🇨🇦 Zz
I do the same here in UK. All of my plants at home and in the garden are the rescue plants. I feed them all tomato plant food, they grow beautifully. Well done, you did I great job there.
Me too!!! Love Walmart & Lowe's in my little town of Ozark MO. This has won me the title the plant whisperer🤣😊 It also allowed me to enjoy plants I would not typically buy.
My mother in law taught me this too! She told me it's like doing a CPR on the plant. I brought 2/3 avocado trees back to lives(1 didn't make it though) with this method.
Thankyou for saving this plant, I’ve worked in a big supermarket like that before in the garden centre. Half the employees could care less about watering the plants and reviving them. It saves money too, I don’t understand. Their so quick to throw plants out when all they need is water and sun.
Great video,I have rescued a lot of plants from the garbage can at the local cemetery,I asked permission off course,people buy them and then nobody cares for them until the maintenance people throw them away,most of them at the brink of death( no pun intended )they get a second chance in life,unlike the people buried there.
Do you have advice on caring for Prayer Plant that has black leaves . It was thriving & now it has more black leaves then green , it does have new life starting,but still black leaves . Hope to get advice to save it. Thanks
@@kadesmom100 lol. This is like my new addiction. Going to Lowe's whenever I can and checking out the clearance racks. I'd rather spend a couple bucks on a plant I can try and save then spending a lot of money on a plant I could potentially kill.
I found a lowly pothos plant in Walmart in the candy aisle. That was 13 years ago. It's still alive and growing. I have rooted many a cutting from it and given them as gifts.
This is really an awesome idea and thanks a lot for sharing. My hydrangea which I thought is almost dead is back to life now and is blooming also.... 🙌 thanks a ton!!
Haven't tried with flowers yet, but I've rescued a lot of herbs from the store!! I've bought nearly wilted mints, re-potted them in bigger pots, watered when needed and given plenty of sunlight and woah! It went wild!!
I planted a mint a couple of weeks ago in the roughest part of the garden as I thought they had a reputation of growing all over the place like it was going out of fashion! I also thought it would not need watering much either but...
I think now that it is revived, it would be suitable to replant into a larger pot, I've done that before. I tend to wait to see if the plant will come back around, so as not to overwhelm it between being revived and repotted.
Hi Greg, my fiancé is currently trying to revive a plant I got her for Valentine’s Day after watching your video.. I appreciate the guidance! Fingers crossed she’s gonna start getting inspired by your cooking channel 👍🏻🍻
I just bought a pot of Hydrangeas for my aunts from a mall and they looked wilted. Kinda looked like this in the video, and I only soaked it in water only this morning and good thing there's this video. Thank you!
My jaw literally dropped to the floor. Wow that was amazing. I subscribed right away and clicked on the bell to see all your future posts. Wow. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watched this video a while back and actually found some large hydrangeas on clearance today. Bought them and put them to soaking. Will check on them in the morning. If they come back will have saved $75. Will let you know.
I am tempted to offer to water the poor things as can't stand seeing them all half dead and dying. Not sure why they sell them if they can't be bothered watering them.
I've also found many that have been over watered. I found a small succulent (on clearance) the other day that was in a small pot with drainage inside a ceramic pot without. When I got it home it was sopping wet and there was water in the bottom of the ceramic pot. I took the plant out of the pot and put it on some newspapers for a few hours to let it dry out. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I just brought some “throw away” hydrangeas from the grocery store. They were free and the cashier thought I was crazy. Let’s see what some TLC can do. I’ve revived other plants before. First time for hydrangeas
Gregg the Gardener WOW !!!! This is soooo amazing !!! Thank you for sharing this amazing tip ! Now I will go to the discount shelves at Lowes ...Lol and bring them back to life !
Last year many could be had for $1, I had an amazing annual garden for less than $50, neighbors even came by and noted how lovely it looked. This year nothing is available for the $1 range. Lowe's had me as a customer because of it, I bought what I needed there, now I don't stop there anymore. Funny how having damaged, almost dead, flowers for $1 got them a loyal customer. I'm back with Menards. Enjoy your day
I buy plants like this all the time, and my husband says “ I will buy you any of these pretty plants....why are you buying the dead ones?” Then he comments on how beautiful my flowering plants are a few days later! Good to see I am not the only one who hates paying $16.00 for a flowing plant!
I did the same thing with some plants that i got at walmart in clearance they were death but I got home and soak them in water and a little bit of epson salt the next day they were alive again 😃
if any one doesnt get the same exact results as greg does its fine in most cases when your trying to soak the soil it can become hydrophobic and repel water causing the water to just stay at the top off the soil not sliding into it. to prevent this you can forcefully soak it by grabbing a bowl filling it with water and putting the plant inside let it soak up for about 4-6 hours.
I do this all the time but I clear out the dryed stuff in the bottom of the plant as soon as I water it.I've done this with trees they sell also. Thank you for sharing this hopefully more people will but them and save them or I wish they would just set the flowers and trees out front of the store for free ! God bless 🙏💜
Theres a guy in our neighborhood who goes to our local nursery every Saturday & looks through their trash & rescues all the plants he finds. He always asks the manager if he can have them and of course she happy to get rid of them. The guy says these dead & dying plants are a challenge & he hasnt lost one yet. !
hi, Greg WELL DONE 👍 if you save one - you save the world 🌏 and this flower is saying: "THANK YOU !!!" with her revival & blossoms 🌺 how beautiful this is 💗 Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️ *** Bonnie ***
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.
@Hineni John3:16 I had forgotten to water my small orange tree for weeks and then I left for a few days and it looked completely dead when I came home after some hot and sunny days. Then I cut of all the branches that had turned brown and left those green ones that still looked alive. It was a bit of a haircut, but leaves and flowers came back in no time..
G'day mate from O’ahu. Just watched your video and tried it out on my dying hibiscuses. I had all but given up on them until I saw this. We shall see how they are in the morning. Mahalo!
Wow 🤩. Isn’t God’s Nature beautiful? Whether one believes or not, this Hydrangea just has a will to live & such a BIG THIRST! Glad you resurrected this living thing. Brilliant!
Hi! ☺ That was a Beautiful video. I always try to rescue plants when I see them on their death bed like the hydrangea that you bought. Thank you for sharing & saving!! ☺☺😎😎
Thanks for this, I bought 3 plants from Food Lion and then the temp decided to be 90 plus for 3-4 day, my plants where soft and crunchy, so far all I did was bring it inside, but now I'm gonna put a pan under like you did
Thank you! Got one for Valentine's Day from my son and it's already shriveling up. I don't know how to take care of plants or even this Kalanchoe but I don't want it to die😊
Who else buys clearance plants because all u need is to take care of them and boom there beautiful again
It's my new addiction. It's so much more rewarding too when you see the life coming back.
Johnathan Flores - I do!
I do it all the time!! I go for one thing in the store next thing you know...+3 plants😂😂IDC I love it
Rtuo
I feel it's my duty to rescue them when they're like that it really pisses me off when I go to Walmart and see them all dying I literally want to get the hose and give them all water Walmart has the worst Nursery ever they just kill off those poor Plant
I literally feel bad when I walk by the sale cart with all the dying and sick looking plants. Like I'm in a shelter and I wanna rescue them all!
Do it! Even if you can't keep them plants make great gifts.
So what are you waiting for RESCUE them and brighten your day on the cheap! If not you, who?👍🏻 my gardens full of rescues!
I am notorious for buying the dying discount plants. I love giving them new life, it's very satisfying! Thanks for showing others how to bring green back to life.
I do too
😂😂😂💕💕💕me too - I now promise to buy One Sick Plant 💐
Took a walk through a lady's absolutely beautiful garden. Every one of her plants and flowers were reduced "brought back to life" purchases. Amazing!
That is what I have learned to do. Primarily because I'm frugal ! LOL
I love going through clearance at the local Walmart! I have rescued so many plants and they are still happy and growing!!
Bayla Schauer I’ve done the same. I always buy the pathetic looking plants. People think I’m crazy. 🤷🏼♀️
How you bring them back to life
@@chefmum4096 I just plant them as soon as I can, making sure they are not root bound and fertilizing them well. I have been lucky!
I'll have to do that!
I rescue the dying flowers and always manage to kill them I do not know why :(((
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.

They don't care because after they have killed or almost killed these plants they send them back to the farms where they bought them for another.

Absolutely love rescuing plants ! Who can pass up a half dead plant ? NOT ME !!!
It infuriates me to see neglected and dying plants in stores, it really does
The store is too greedy. Should have give the plant for free for the condition.
JJ J in our country the price is only 0.18 euro for this condition. I always buting orchids for 0.12-0.18 euro
It’s not greed they just want to get some money back that they spent on it before taking a complete loss and since there are ppl that buy them at that stage/price it works for both parties
@@ElinWinblad Not necessarily. More often than not they just throw them out.

Hello Greg. I've done this before and it almost always works. Good way to save some money. Great tip. Ozarks, Missouri.
Thanks Condee
Me too!!! Love Walmart & Lowe's in my little town of Ozark MO. This has won me the title the plant whisperer🤣😊 It also allowed me to enjoy plants I would not typically buy.
I do it very often ... I love giving life to dying plants .. can't agree more with you .. thank you be blessed
Tip
Have a bucket full of water and put the plant in the bucket till it sinks, that means it's fully soaked and watered
My mother in law taught me this too! She told me it's like doing a CPR on the plant.
I brought 2/3 avocado trees back to lives(1 didn't make it though) with this method.

Thank you Greg!!! This video saved ALL of my houseplants ! You are awesome. Love your videos!
Wow!!! What a caring hands! You're a green thumb!😎😊
On plants that dry, I normally hold the entire rootball under water in a bucket of water until the air bubbles stop
When the soil gets that dry it gets hydrophobic. I would submerge it too.
You are talking about plants aren't you?
Absolutely!!!
I do that as well.
Its like giving it an energy drink.
You have a nice , soothing voice. Thank you plant whisperer.. 😘💐
Greg, I missed you! I love that I'm not the only one that wants to rescue sad clearance plants. 😘

Also a larger pot and new soil.

Yep. I wet two weeks ago and purchased plants in the clearance rack for 90%off!!! Yes, 90%off!!!

them and of course she happy to get rid of them. The guy says
these dead & dying plants are a challenge & he hasnt lost one yet.

Maybe I don't pay attention but I've never seen any store trying to sell dead flowers. Really cool video though, thank you!! 🌸

My pensee is back to life, many thanks 🙏
Some of my most treasured plants are rescues! Same with rescue animals...
You are a life saver.. Godbless👍
Amazing I just got a plan for five dollars I put some new soil some plant food and I watered it and it’s looking great
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.
This plant is called hydrangea. The soaking thing works with it. Not with other plants.
True, but most perennials will recover with some TLC.
@Hineni John3:16 I had forgotten to water my small orange tree for weeks and then I left for a few days and it looked completely dead when I came home after some hot and sunny days. Then I cut of all the branches that had turned brown and left those green ones that still looked alive. It was a bit of a haircut, but leaves and flowers came back in no time..
I picked up some dying garden roses; do you have any care tips for those?
Hi Greg, thank you for saving my hydrangea
G'day mate from O’ahu. Just watched your video and tried it out on my dying hibiscuses. I had all but given up on them until I saw this. We shall see how they are in the morning. Mahalo!
Wow 🤩. Isn’t God’s Nature beautiful? Whether one believes or not, this Hydrangea just has a will to live & such a BIG THIRST! Glad you resurrected this living thing. Brilliant!
Simple as that, flipping brilliant, thank you! 👍
Hi! ☺ That was a Beautiful video. I always try to rescue plants when I see them on their death bed like the hydrangea that you bought. Thank you for sharing & saving!! ☺☺😎😎
I would definitely repot it. Plants are like people. ..Give them enough space and they'll grow.
Thank you for the gift
What a lovely guy ☺️
Give the plant water! Pure genius, Thanks
I go dumpster diving at my local grocery and find so many gems!!
Going to try this with my poinsettia.
Oh .. this trick helped my revive my dying plants 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for this, I bought 3 plants from Food Lion and then the temp decided to be 90 plus for 3-4 day, my plants where soft and crunchy, so far all I did was bring it inside, but now I'm gonna put a pan under like you did
I feel happy that she is healthy again 😊😊
A wonderful video, thanks for sharing with us!
😍😍😍😍good to see it revives back 🥰🥰🥰 Nice video
Most of my garden are rescue jobs,it's very satisfying and cheap.
