My african daisies are not blooming, what is the problem?

They are in hanging baskets in my porch, I am sure they get a lot of sun and I water them ever other day. The leaves and steams are green and there are a lot of buds, but when one opens it weathers quickly,( like with in the week.) what is going on?

If you are watering every other day, then they are getting way too much water. Remember these are a flower "native" to Africa, a country which is in a state of drought much of the time. African daisies are very drought tolerant and alot of times can be grown without any water after the initial germination. Try cutting way back on the watering and let the soil dry out. They should only need water when they look like the are starting to wilt.. maybe once every week and a half for starters. Only fertilize once a month..Hope this helps
Reply:i could just be the type of flower or you could be giving it to much water ofr not enough fertilizer or to much fertilizer or to much sun i dont know there are lots of possiblities.
Reply:Give it a fertilizer for flowering plants. It might not be getting enough of the right nutrient to support its blooms.
