Once again my pansies are having an issue. They are wilting and look like there on there death bed. Oh after my last question I did follow some of the suggestions and most of them came back. Just wanted to add that. I have another pot of pansies right above them. They are sitting on steps. That pot is fine. Just really confused.

You have to constantly dead head the faded blooms on pansies. Make sure to feed them every couple of weeks if they are in the ground, and every week with a diluted feed solution if they are in planters. If you don't deadhead religiously, the plant will go to seed and look spindly and sick. As much as I love looking at healthy pansies, I don't like the maintenance required in owning them, so I avoid them entirely. Keep your pansy area small enough to manage. -

Pansies are typically cool weather annuals. The ones that do not look so good could have just run their lifespan. Also could be heat and / or humidity. Here are a couple links for you.https://www.rodalesorganiclife.com/garden/pansieshttps://www.thespruce.com/pansies-growing-a-cool-weather-favorite-1402913 -

Most importantly, pansies like cool weather! Pansies, like most flowers, do well when they are dead-headed ( pinch off spent blooms).
