Problem with Zinnias
AOA
I have few following problems with my zinnias
1. In first and 2nd image, the plants in two ‘kayaries’ died out suddenly. In morning, they were ok but at noon when I saw them, they were laid down. What might be the reason behind that?
2. In 3rd image, the leaves are burning from the edges. Why it is
3. In 4th image, the flower size is very small as compared to my previous experience or the images that I have seen in the gardens of the forum’s members
Regards;

Re: Problem with Zinnias
They are probably dying of fungal rot, stop excessive watering and spray the plants with anti-fungal spray...start a new batch from seeds and discard the dying plants.

Re: Problem with Zinnias
Fungus spores are already available in soil, they need damp conditions to proliferate and grow which is easily given to them when we do excessive watering and provide inadequate sunlight.
To prevent this situation, always provide good air circulation to the plants, water only when the soil dries up, use anti-fungal sprays to prevent spread to other plants, burn severely affected plants to stop further spread.
