About 10 days ago, my wife and I went to Lowes and bought some Mum's. We took them home, put soil in a pot, dropped in the flowers and then added some more soil around the plant (the pot we used is kind of bottle necked and it was tough to add extra dirt/soil). It appeard that we were a little low on soil, so I used regular dirt from an empty lot to top off the pots. We put them on our covered porch and watered them and everything was great.
The next day we noticed that some of the flowers were wilting and now, about 10 days later, 1 of the two plants is completely wilted and the other is about 60% wilted.
How do I know if I added enough water or too little? My first impression was that I added to much, as the water spilled out of the hole in the bottom of th plant, but maybe it wasn't enough.
This is really our 1st time planting anything. How often and how much water should be used.
Are these things lost causes or is there still hope.
Any help/tips would be great!
