Calibrachoas dying.

Question

This intense heat has wilted my calibrachoas. any way to get them flowering again. I have put miracle gro on them a few weeks ago. I have never seen my flowers do this before. I have always had good luck growing calibrachoas.

Answer 1

Million bells are supposed to flower all summer given full sun, water and fertilizer.

Are you keeping them watered in the intense heat? Though they like full sun and warm weather, extreme heat can reduce flowering. Soil should be moist but not wet. Too wet and root rot sets in.

They are heavy feeders and need a complete fertilizer. Though some say too much nitrogen inhibits flowering, calibrachoas need a lot of nitrogen so don't skimp on that in the fertilizer.
