My fireflies are blooming but the leaves are sparse and yellowing! They were acclimated very slowly. Is it too much water, too much sun? Soil getting too hot from pot? Help! They were a Mother's Day gift from my son.

Firefly petunia help… 😭 So a few months back I got this lovely firefly petunia, put it outside, and boy he was sad. Per some suggestions I brought him back in a repotted him in normal soil and he bounced back. I never tried to acclimate him outside I just have him under a grow light with my indoor plants, but now he looks as bad as he did when he was outside! I feel guilty every time I look at him, what do I need to do to make him happy? #FireflyPetunia #help

Possibly Dying? My lovely petunias, Fraya, I got recently (I believe the 11th) because I felt as though these little guys could use some extra TLC their flowers are drying out near the edges, and I just had an entire flower, not even fully bloomed, fall off this morning as I was checking on them. I watered them the day I got them and am planning on getting a larger pot within the next couple of weeks. I am placing them outside for about 3 hours in morning sunlight then I move them to my northwest facing window for indirect light the rest of the day. If there is anything else that I can do to try and help keep these beauties alive please let me know ❣️ #plantdad #petunia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newplantdad #sickplants

Why does it seem like some of the leaves are dying on my firefly Petunia ? So I got three fire petunias it’s been at least 2 months since I got them. I struggled a lot at first because it seems my firefight between us did not like any of the grow lights that I had and we’re slowly dying off. I tried putting them in my self watering pot with grow light embedded in it, but they were still dying. Now they seem to be doing a lot better. I bought high wattage lights, I have them both in plastic pots with a very well draining soil. I do a constant feed regimen. I do notice they seem to like to be slightly moist. Like I checked the drip trays and if they look wet, then I don’t water the plant because it’s happy like that, if the drip tray does end up going dry that’s when I start to see leaves dying. My issue is with the bigger of the two plants that are still alive. Seems to have some wilting leaves despite the fact that it seems happy and its current state. #FireflyPetunia #help
