Alternative Advice for Saving the Sentimental Mini Mum

Gill offered a second opinion: keep indoors while weather uncertain, frost-free, moist not saturated. Remove flowers to reduce energy burden after shock. New green leaves signal recovery. Feed later with balanced fertilizer. The "C" shape will correct as new shoots emerge.

Removing flowers helps the plant focus on root and leaf recovery.
