Thunbergia problem

12 years ago

Hi
I am wondering if anyone may have some advise on what could be my problem with my Thunbergia. Bought 2 plants and put them in my flower box, which gets sun all day one at each end of the flower box (8 feet long) one is doing really well while the other is looking very limp and the leaves are curling. Any ideas !!!! or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ...

Thunbergia vines put down very deep roots. They become massive and need the roots to support nutrients and water required to grow well. How deep is your flower box?

Take the plant out of the soil, see if there are any new root hairs growing - they will be white. If not, take it back where you got it and exchange it for another one.
