Are my pansies dying? #WildPansy

Rescuing Pansies Question Help! We had to split up these pansies that were massively overcrowded when we bought them at the store last week. There’s rot from the leaves being wet. I’m cutting out the rot. I’d like to give them SuperThrive to help the transplant, but I don’t know if I should avoid watering to prevent more rot #

Flowers are wilting but leaves are ok A few days indoors, after buying it in a store, the flowers started wilting. I am watering every other day to keep the soil moist, but I don't know if it's helping. I read somewhere here that they like direct sun and cool weather, so now they are in my balcony. What else can I do to save them? #WildPansy
