3 weeks ago I began my first attempt at keeping plants on my balcony. I chose Lavender, Fuchsia, Margot Robert's and Golden Empire Bidens. All seem to be do well enough with the exception of the GEB.

These are the details: -The plant was flowering abundantly when I purchased it -I removed it from the thin plastic container it was in -I loosened the compacted soil around the roots -I placed it down in a new planter I had partially filled with 'professional potting mix' -I added the same potting mix around the roots until it was built up to just above the original soil level of the plant -I compressed the soil around the plant slightly -I added a small amount more of potting mixture to compensate for the compressed soil -I watered the plant until water began to drain from the bottom of the planter -I have watered the plant every second day since then using about a 150mls of water each time -Originally I had the plant placed on the balcony wall, facing east, getting morning sun up until about 11am -A week ago I moved the plant onto the floor where it no longer receives any direct sunlight -Moving the plant out of the sun was done because I assumed it was getting too much sun, as it was wilting -After moving it, the plant has deteriorated even faster -Before moving it, and ever since day one the plant has gradually deteriorated, losing its flowers first and now also the leaves are wilting

This is my first question here and I hope sincerely to learn from any input offered. If this is not an appropriate use of the forum I will be grateful to learn where, or how to find the information I need.

3 weeks ago I began my first attempt at keeping plants on my balcony. I chose Lavender, Fuchsia, Margot Robert's and Golden Empire Bidens. All seem to be do well enough with the exception of the GEB.

These are the details:

• The plant was flowering abundantly when I purchased it
• I removed it from the thin plastic container it was in
• I loosened the compacted soil around the roots
• I placed it down in a new planter I had partially filled with 'professional potting mix'
• I added the same potting mix around the roots until it was built up to just above the original soil level of the plant
• I compressed the soil around the plant slightly
• I added a small amount more of potting mixture to compensate for the compressed soil
• I watered the plant until water began to drain from the bottom of the planter
• I have watered the plant every second day since then using about a 150mls of water each time
• Originally I had the plant placed on the balcony wall, facing east, getting morning sun up until about 11am
• A week ago I moved the plant onto the floor where it no longer receives any direct sunlight
• Moving the plant out of the sun was done because I assumed it was getting too much sun, as it was wilting
• After moving it, the plant has deteriorated even faster
• Before moving it, and ever since day one the plant has gradually deteriorated, losing its flowers first and now also the leaves are wilting
