The soil should be constantly moist, and when watering, avoid wetting the flowers and leaves. The plant needs a lot of nutrients. If it has any deficiencies, it shows this by “lying down” on the pot. Regularly inspect the surfinia and remove dead flowers. This will encourage it to produce new ones.
