Sounds like over watering and lack of sun to me. Dig it up and move it to a better location.Helpful Reply -

Lack of vitamin? Try sprinkling a teaspoon of Epsom salt on the base of the plant and then water.Helpful Reply -

Yes, I agree with Naomie. It sounds as if it has a mildew or (perhaps) fungal problem and probably needs better air circulation.Helpful Reply -

2 teaspoons of baking soda & 1 qt. of water. Put in spray bottle, shake it & spray flowers. Don't overspray...this is called powdery mill dew. It works. I was having problems with mine & I ask the man that I buy my flowers from & this is what he told me. I have even done it to some of my marigolds. My bee balm doesn't even look like it ever had the mildew. GOOD LUCK!!!!Helpful Reply -

I would dissolve a tablespoon of Epson Salt in a gallon of water. Sprinkle it on the soil where the plant meets the soil. This will put enzymes into the soil. Then water real good. The extra water will help the roots receive the salt. I hope this helps you.Helpful Reply -
