      @@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.

    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!

    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! :)

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.

    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...

    Very nice! That's good to remember that you can rehydrate a plant like that. I'm always so afraid of overwatering my plants. :)

      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.

    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.

      You’ll probably drown the roots. His way slowly soaks it up from the bottom of the pot. Idk I’m just guessing

      @possums1010 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@adhab I've worked in greenhouses, & when something is that dry it needs immediate help. you soak the whole pot in a bucket until there's no air bubbles. can't count on the soil & roots taking the water up from the bottom
