Ok, I am sorry about this, but can someone please help me, how I did this I have no idea. I have a hanging, sorry had basket with a petunia I think you call them multi petunia. They have a very small flower which is a red colour now I took it down to water it on Friday but yesterday the leaves (quite a few) had turned brown and the stems seem very week for some reason and I notice a white power on the leaves. What have I done wrong. I know to professionals this is simple but me that is a whole different ball game.

Sounds like it could have dried out and you have mildew.
dead head, remove leaves that are dead water and feed when i say water soak it in a bucket for 30 mns then let drain before hanging back up.

Thanks Greengage, mildew? I thought only roses got that. I did water the basket and never let it get dry, I watered it every second day. Maybe that was not enough, but I have never gave it feed of any kind. Do you have any ideas on the feed. Thanks again for your help I will pick off the dead leaves and flowers now and hopefully it will come on again.

Any suggestions about the wife hanging me instead of the basket

Thanks, Tomato food. Ok I will go find it. Sorry if I seem daft but I do not know one thing about gardening, I love roses and have to fix my lawn. So Tomato feed it is. Thank you so much.

William re tomato feed, a lot of the pound shops still have that sort of thing at the mo so you could probably pick it up for a couple of euros

Thank you for the advice, I will follow that up. I never realised flowers could get mildew, I thought it was only roses.
