Troubleshooting

Plant appears wilted or droopy

Check soil moisture. Water thoroughly if dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot if soil is consistently waterlogged.

Few or no blooms

Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight (at least partial shade). Check for proper watering and nutrient levels. Pruning spent blooms can encourage further flowering.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and improve soil aeration. It could also be a sign of nutrient deficiency; consider a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Wipe pests away with a damp cloth or spray with insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation around the plant.
