If the temperature gets too hot for too long the blooming of the plant will stall down, and the plant will ultimately die. Experts advise that you should provide the flower with sunlight during the morning and in the afternoon make sure it has some shade. The plants also stop blooming in dry soil and for this reason they will require a lot of consistent watering. But do not water too much because this will cause them to die as well. Experts say that you should let the top layer of soil dry some before the next watering so they do not become saturated. It is also advised that you deadhead he flowers to keep them blooming for as long as possible. This means to remove the dead flowers as soon as possible to preserve the ones that are healthy. These plants often return and regrow after being deadheaded.
