Why are my pansies drooping?


Our Advice:

Pansies may droop if they are not getting enough water or if they are exposed to extreme heat or cold. Make sure to water the plants deeply and regularly, especially during hot and dry weather. Providing some shade or protection from the sun during the hottest part of the day can also help prevent drooping. In addition, make sure the plants are not being exposed to freezing temperatures, as this can also cause them to droop.
