# my petunia is suddenly floppy :( it was just super bushy and looked…

_Posted by mona2929 on 2025-05-25_

my petunia is suddenly floppy :( it was just super bushy and looked really nice but last night after i came home from work i found her like this :( i think i may have overwatered her bc when i stick my finger in the soil it’s still moist. Any tips on what else i can do to make her not so floppy? or do i just need to wait it out? Thanks!!!

My petunias took water everyday every other day. Otherwise they would do this. They grew so fast. I live in California. One hot day we had they died. It just got to hot for them.

It’s high maintenance in hot areas. I was told the Supertunia brand could handle Texas heat. They are almost dead. Can’t water them everyday or all the other flowers in the pot will die off.
