They were blooming a couple of days ago and looked wonderful. Now they look completely awful! What can I do?

Get a pair of cutters, and cut back all the dead head flowers.They are easy to spot, you can see what ones are good and those that aren't.


Check the soil, is it too wet, or too dry. If too dry, water. With outdoor plants, they dry out quickly and depending on the size of the pot, may need to be watered daily.


But some liquid fertilizer, there are dozens available, get one for flowers, and follow the instructions.


Your petunias, will soon come back to health.
Reply:have you been watering them properly? the sad fact is that if they are dead nothing will bring them back.
Reply:Get some good manure preferably cow-dung manure ,make sure the colour is quite dark.Mix 2 parts of mud and 2 parts of manure well remove top 1 inch soil from the hanging basket and put in this mixture.Cut the dead heads.If you find it difficult to water it, hang a water pot at a slightly higher level ,tie a thread to a stone put it in this water pot and bury the other end of the thread deep in mud in the hanging basket.Find out how much sun they need and place them accordingly.You can also put just a few(3/4)grains of urea in a big tumbler of water and mix it well,then put in a few spoons daily for a week.


Talking to the plants helps:)Its about caring for them.So when you do all this you will surely feel like checking on it more.Why dont you put a few more hanging baskets with new plants.You seem to just love flowers etc.I am sure you will have a great garden some day.
