I havent managed to keep one yet - theyve all gone
They are not laying on wet soil, in fact they are pointing upwards at

Any suggestions?

Those sound like the male flowers, which are on stems. The female flowers are close to the main stem of the plant. There are many more male than female flowers on a plant.
