Why are my sunflower leaves drooping?
Hello, im very new!! This happened to my sunflower leaves within 1 hour! They looked fine, then when i got back home, they are drooping and wilting :( their soil was dry so i watered them and still after a few hours they are wilting. Can they come back from this? Not sure what to do
15” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago

You were right to give your sunflowers 🌻 a good drink of water when you got back home! After you watered the soil, did you move the plant to the shade? The drooping leaves could be a combination of overheating and too much sunlight. If you haven’t already, I would move the pot to a shady area in your yard to let the leaves recover.
@theloveofplants it has been pretty hot but today is one of the cooler days! There is not much shade, but i have just moved them & got them covered under a chair. Hopefully they will pull through!
@UndauntedBeans7 | Yes, I am hoping so too! Sounds like you caught them just “in time.” They need to recover from the heat and sun. Keep me posted on what they look like as the day goes on!
@theloveofplants they are already looking much more lively! Thankfully there is a thunderstorm here so they will have their seemingly much needed cool down for the rest of the day. Thanks for your help, youre a true plant-life saver!!!
Awww yay! 😃 This makes me smile! The sunflowers look so happy now! You are welcome! I am so glad I was able to help! 💜
