# My sunflower in the wind is dislodged itself, I'm not sure why. It's…

_Posted by Plantosa on 2025-08-05_

My sunflower in the wind is dislodged itself, I'm not sure why. It's leaves are rotting but it's still growing slowly. And they are extremely droopy, but they still get a lot of direct sunlight throughout the day.Can anyone help??

They need all day full sunlight in a south facing window or they need to be outside. You will need a strong grow light and a dwarf variety to grow indoors. Also, it might be overwatered. It has to use up all the water in the soil before the roots rot. Check the roots for rot. Reduce the pot size to one just wide enough to hold the roots. 🪴🍀

It just popped itself up out of the dirt, and the roots were all rotted away before hand, and I didn't realize,'(. But I'll plant a new one soon
