How do you rescue wilted flowers?

The correct approach is: when you notice the leaves wilting, immediately move the flower pot to a cool, shady spot, spray some water on the leaf surfaces, and water lightly. Afterward, as the stems and leaves gradually recover their upright stance, gradually increase the amount of water. If you pour too much water all at once at this point, it can cause the plant to die. This is because after a flower wilts, large numbers of root hairs are damaged, greatly reducing its water-absorbing capacity; only after new root hairs grow can it restore its original water-absorbing ability. At the same time, wilting causes the cells to lose water; once water is encountered, the cell walls absorb water first and expand rapidly, while the protoplasm absorbs water afterward and expands slowly. If you suddenly pour a large amount of water at this time, it will cause plasmolysis, damaging the protoplasm and leading to the death of the flower.
