# Hello, can anyone help me with my new ornithogalum plant. Brought…

_Posted by Sam on 2025-10-11_

Hello, can anyone help me with my new ornithogalum plant. Brought from Bunnings was standing straight and tall and all flowers open now appears to be leaning over and small under flowers wilting and going brown? I’ve just repotted it yesterday from its plastic square pot and this app said overwatered but when I took it out of its pot it was fairly dry didn’t seem wet at all. I’m a beginner! Thanks guys

Have you done research on it? Typically transplant shock occurs heavily with all  
Plants give time to adjust in indirect light somewhere near shade but were the sun still can reach without direct intense light. About 2wks it’ll take for you plant to adjust. Looks like too much direct light.

I only repotted yesterday when it started dropping as the app said it was over watered and not even sun. As it was on my back porch undercover only getting late afternoon direct sun. And ticket says full sun on it

It's possible that It's dropping from the weight of the flowers. As for water i agree that it looks dry. Test the soil with your finger; if it's dry an inch down, go ahead and water it. Also some "full sun" plants need a bit of protection from midday heat. Try a spot where it gets plenty of sun in the morning but gets spotty shade as things heat up in the afternoon

Thankyou it’s in the shade now I’ll move it to more shady position tomorrow for morning sun and shade in the middle of the day, my water meter doesn’t say it’s dry and it was fairly soaked through just yesterday from repotting
