I have this problem with this plant only. The flowers are now SMALL and brittle! They used to be huge and gorgeous. Very odd. My hubby picked this one and we would love it to be OK again. It was on the bottom shelf and I moved it up because it seemed to be reaching. It is on the middle shelf where the lights are lower.
I hope you all have some ideas for me. the plant looks ok, but the leaves are reaching. Only plant having this happen. Thank you.
Update. I just read a bit about it. Could be phos. Should I repot? Take off the buds? Water from the top once after repotting? These are things I read.

Need help with Music Box Dancer blooms!
are the leaves in the center brittle, too, Sally? That is a sign of cyclamen mites I think. Also, I grew Music Dancer and she grows wildly normally, but her blooms are giant.
Maybe someone else will pop in with better ideas.
The leaves seem fine. I did look for that symptom first. She was gorgeous not long ago! BIG blooms. Seems only the flowers have gone bad.
I wouldn't worry but if I were you I would pinch all the buds off and start the blooming cycle again. Who wants those tiny blooms anyway? ???
Yes, I took them all off and repotted. Hoping for good results.
good luck! She is not an easy one to grow..........but pretty!
