Shrimp plant

Barb Rosen on Oct 18, 2014Deborah, when you transition a plant inside it is not unusual for it to droop and even lose some leaves. Make sure your plant is in a sunny window, away from heaters or ducts and do not overwater it. You might want to trim it back after it gets acclimated.

Douglas Hunt on Oct 19, 2014To Barb's excellent advice I will add that even in a south-facing window it is getting vastly less light than it was outside, so it is not surprising that blooming has diminished.Helpful Reply

Connie Mar on Oct 19, 2014Many flowering plants are seasonal and don't bloom all year round. Pinch off the flowers, same as you would deadhead flowers in your yard, and eventually you might get blooms again. I would also open the drapes all the way so the plant gets as much light as possible during the day. And, every few days rotate the plant so it gets light on all sides. Agree with comments made by Barb and Douglas. Some plants are more susceptible to changes than others and will lose leaves, almost go into hibernation with a move from outside to inside, or inside to outside, or a different location inside.Helpful Reply
