Received my first AV about 6 weeks ago
Was in full bloom-had just been watered-3-4 days later flowers began
dying-but there were
new buds.

Iwatered it from the bottom til soil was damp-about 30 minutes-new buds
blossomed while older ones still died off-I watered it again about 5
days later from top-avoiding leaves-seemed to do better-until this past
week--

Watered about 5-7 days after previous watering from bottom like
before-about3-4 days later leaves were drooping around eges of plant
-some flowers dying--

What am I doing wron --it's in North window-Iwater with room temp
water--Help!

I'll add that if you want this to bloom in the future a north window won't
do it without a grow light. These need lots of light to bloom.
