The flowers are probably just dying, they die after a while and if it's healthy then they'll grow back and it'll bloom again! as long as the roots and leaves look healthy, you're good! 😊

My only suggestion would be to water it. But if it’s time to shed the blossoms, there is nothing you can do.

Can you get us a picture that shows the roots and leaves well?
