Troubleshooting
Plants wilting despite watering
Check soil drainage. If water is pooling, the roots may be waterlogged, or the soil may not be draining sufficiently. Amend the soil with compost or perlite to improve drainage.
Lack of blooms
Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours of direct sun daily). Also, check if the plants are being overwatered, as this can inhibit flowering.
Yellowing leaves
This can indicate overwatering or poor soil drainage. Reduce watering frequency and ensure the soil drains well. It could also be a nutrient deficiency; consider a balanced liquid fertilizer if the issue persists after addressing water concerns.
Pest infestation (e.g., aphids)
Inspect plants regularly. If pests are found, try washing them off with a strong spray of water or use an insecticidal soap, following product instructions carefully.
