Hi MiniRose  Are you keeping it damp but not wet? Is it sitting near a radiator or a A/C vent? How are you watering? Are you letting it sit in water? I am only asking about things that would cause a more immediate problem right now. The flowers will die but should be replaced by more flowers. The leaves should feel crisp with crisp stems. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| Keep it very close to a north-facing window. Water it thoroughly (til some water runs through the drain holes) from the top and then do not add water again until the top half-inch of soil is dry. Leave the roots and soil undisturbed. That's all it takes. Will Creed Horticultural Help, NYC www.HorticulturalHelp.com I now have a book available on indoor plant care |
