# Why is it that they are under exact circumstances bought two weeks…

Why is it that they are under exact circumstances bought two weeks apart and they look so different? Is there something I am missing? 🤔

Lol they can be finicky. The one on the right does have gorgeous blooms. I find that Osmocote plus fertilizer works great for my petunia and calibrachoa baskets. I also feed once a week with water soluble fertilizer if you’re not already doing this. But you’re not alone. This happened today.. After 4 days of rain my blooms are shot until we get some sun.

Ohhhh thank you soooo much! I will start food tomorrow. I am new to all of this. For some reason I didn’t think I needed to do anything besides water them. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ oh my!!!

Yeah no worries. They are sterile plants. Basically meaning they will not go to seed therefore are in constant bloom. So they are heavy feeders and very thirsty. As it gets hotter you’ll have to water them everyday 😊

Thank you so much!! I have been watering everyday that it doesn’t rain. ☺️

Plants are also just genetically stronger or weaker even within the same species. So if the fertilizer doesn’t work, it could just be the “ugly sister” or a “late bloomer” 😅😂

Well that is good to know. Thank you so much!!
