Hey there, what if your Sawtooth Sunflower is showing signs of being a bit dehydrated?
You can try a few things, like deep watering, mulching, keeping an eye on the soil moisture, thinking about using drip irrigation, and not overwatering.
I absolutely love deep watering, and I always make sure to add wood chips or compost to the base of the plant. I'm also a big fan of checking the soil moisture level.
Signs that the Sawtooth Sunflower is suffering from water stress are usually wilting of the leaves, change in color, and stunted growth.
If your Sawtooth Sunflower is showing signs of water stress, you can help it by checking the soil. If the soil is still wet, you can tell because you can put your finger about an inch into the soil. Also, you can put mulch around the base of the plant. This will give the plant a little shade, which will reduce water loss through a process called "transpiration." You also don't want to overwater the plant in the future. 🌻
I hope this helps you!
I would love to help you out, and I think the best thing to do would be to change the planting medium to one with well-draining soil. 😊
First things first, you gotta water it deeply and consistently. And before you do that, check the soil 🌱
