bizzy lizzie


Question
i put my bizzy lizzies in a flower tower hanging basket every year but this year after about six weeks to 2 months ive found a lot of the plants seam like they are rotting and flower buds seam to just pop instead of flowering.
I have been out of a night but cant see any slugs or snails
please can you tell me how to solve this problem

Answer
Hi Mark,
Thanx for your question.  Bud drop can be caused by too little or too much water.  I know, that's probably not very helpful.  Excessive heat also causes bud drop.  Too much fertilizer too.  Use general purpose slow release fertilizers.  Too much nitrogen will result in foliage and few blossoms.  I hope this helps.
Tom
