Many flower plants seem to fall seriously ill right after being moved to a new home. It's quite common to see their leaves turning yellow and withering. Even the flower buds that were originally bright and full of hope may all drop off, leaving only the bare branches behind, which is truly a pity. But why does this happen?

On the one hand, the flowers have already adapted to specific conditions such as light, temperature, humidity and soil in their original growing places. When they are transplanted to a new environment, these conditions change, and the flowers need time to readapt. On the other hand, during the process of handling and transplanting, the roots of the flowers will inevitably be damaged to some extent. The roots are just like the "mouth" of the flowers, responsible for absorbing water and nutrients. Once damaged, their absorption function will be greatly weakened, thus affecting the growth state of the whole plant.

Since new flowers are prone to various problems after being brought home, the process of helping them acclimate (hardening off) is particularly important. Firstly, appropriate light conditions should be provided for the new flowers. Most newly transplanted flowers should not be directly exposed to strong sunlight. Instead, they should be placed in a place with scattered light first, allowing them to gradually adapt to the change in light intensity.

Secondly, controlling the temperature is also indispensable. Find out the original suitable growth temperature range of the flowers and try to adjust the ambient temperature around them to be close to that range, avoiding damage to the flowers caused by overly high or low temperatures.

Furthermore, when it comes to watering, the principle of "watering when the soil is dry" should be followed. Before the flowers have adapted to the new environment, don't overwater them to prevent waterlogging and root rot at the roots. However, don't let the soil become too dry either, and keep a certain degree of moisture. In addition, the choice of soil is also crucial. Loose, breathable, fertile and well-drained soil should be selected to create good conditions for the growth and recovery of the flower roots.

Only by correctly carrying out the process of helping the flowers acclimate can the new flowers smoothly get through the adaptation period, grow vigorously in their new homes and bloom with gorgeous colors again.
