Hi!
I bought a Silver Jenny "Allamanda" 2 weeks ago (the name of which I only learned from here) and it's grow may be two to three inches now... I'm all happy, but for the past five days I noticed that whenever a flower blooms, it falls off the next day and the next day or two, the next bud falls off the plant. This has happened twice and has made me concerned about them. Is the plant missing something? Sunlight... Water... Fertilizer...? Can anyone help?
BTW, the plant gets direct sunlight for about 2 hours, and for the rest, it's the shade... So any suggestions?
