Is this fungal infection? Root rot? I have been picking off the flowers that look like this, but itās only like couple flowers here and there that look like this. Iāve had these since the beginning of June. ļæ¼

Help! White powder mold took over my million bellsš I left for 10 days for a work conference and left my husband in charge while I was gone. The plant was healthy when I left, but I think they got some rain storms and he just left the plant outside during the stormsš what is the best product to use to get rid of the mold? #MillionBells #powderymildewy

I cant tag two plants, so I added a photo of the other. Both of these are the same flower (just found that out) and it says they only need water every 7-8 days? Iāve been watering them everyday for only a few days, but just wanted to make sure theyāll be alright lol. I thought plants needed water almost everday (itās been hot the past few days). Iām trying my best to keep these beautiful:)

What other plant parents say
Clarification: my petunia is a survivor. It should be long dead by now, the ones in my motherās yard are. If life finds a way, why snuff it out?
Personally, the constant dropping of leaves and shedding of dead flowers is more work than there is beauty. This spring I hope to add a few more colors to the pot, to liven it up and see if we can go another year. šŖ“
