Did you just plant them? If so, sometimes cutting off the flowers helps them grow strong roots and then you could get longer blooms once its established. But if you’re in a hot area, perhaps spring is the best time for these flowers to bloom.

If you garden by the moon, then right now the moon is ascending which means it is pulling water up and it’s best time to sow seeds, not transplant or plant. The moon is in a water sign, hence why it’s an ideal time to sow any plants with leaves harvest.

Or…just give them a good watering.

I would give it a good watering, Florals need more water then Most

### Sunny commented on 2025-04-26

It looks very dry. Check the roots to see if looks dry. Make sure the plant is firmly planted into the soil.

Are you using drip irrigation? Make sure the dripping water actually reaches the soil around the roots and is not being soaked up into the bark chips.

### Roro commented on 2025-04-26

Okay I would recommend putting a banana peel in a mason jar for an hour or so then watering ur plants with that :)
