i bought mine 2 months ago at a grocery store. it was irresistable. for the first 5 weeks or so it was doing great, then suddenly the flower spikes started drooping as you can see. i didn't know if i was over or under watering so i took steps to solve it both ways. nothing has perked it back up yet. NEXT!!! thanks y'all!

If it was just the flowers, I'd think it was just done blooming, but the leaves do look wilted as well. It is a bulb, so it does need soil with really good drainage. Is it getting good sun?

One thing to consider is that plants in Grocery Stores 9and elsewhere) have JUST been potted up and have not yeat established their roots in their bigger pots. They might have been in cell packs--and the re-potted for sale.
Don;t give up! Don't over water, don't fertilize (a common mistake), and don't keep it in sun. Pretend it has a cold and you need to pamper it a bit until it "gets better"....
Plants are sold by the size pot they atre in--NOT by how big the plant is. There may be the issue!
