Troubleshooting
Plants appear wilted
Check soil moisture. Water thoroughly if dry, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Confirm adequate sunlight exposure.
Yellowing leaves
This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and ensure the pot or bed has adequate drainage holes.
Few or no blooms
Ensure the plants are receiving enough sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and that they are being watered appropriately. Inconsistent watering can affect flowering.
Pests on leaves
Inspect plants regularly. Small pests can often be washed off with a strong spray of water or treated with insecticidal soap if necessary. Ensure good air circulation.
