Bleeding heart hanging plant question?

Question

My husband bought me this huge bleeding heart hanging basket for Mothers day, since then, the inner leaves are turning yellow, the buds fall off before they bloom. I water it when it needs it. Its gets the first sun, until about 2pm. I really dont know what Im doing wrong here. Its still pretty, just not as thick as it was!

The flowers ruffled looking purple blooms!

Answer 1

We talked it over and we have never heard of someone using a bleeding heart in a hanging basket(but it's possible) Check a plant book, or some on line research, we think you may have a Fushia. Reguardless, both plants desire shade most of the day. Bleeding hearts are perrinial and this time of year even my best ones start to fade a little, It's their nature. Bleeding hearts should be planted in the ground in a cool shady spot and require very little attention. Fushia's are annuals, commonly seen in hanging baskets, they dont like to much sun and watering wont help. I sure hope I havent made your ? tougher.

Answer 2

Bleeding Hearts are a perennial so as meaning it is going to come decrease back 365 days after 365 days. i'd imagine it may favor to be contained in the floor. A tire is one thanks to bypass for positive. in addition they prefer color, so are you able to position the tire in a shady spot? if so your off to the races ! have interesting.

Answer 3

Alot of people over water them,try feeding them alittle plant food and move it to indirect sunlight
anouther problem could be is the roots are over taking the pot,so might need to be transplanted to abigger pot....

Answer 4
