hey guys, just wanted to share what helped me. I was having the same problems. Third year having them and I just couldn’t keep them alive. The answer is YES! You’re over watering, and if not that it could be a bug problem. What I found after extensive research and talking to the ladies at the flower centers was this. It’s very tough on them to water them in the evenings. Water in the early mornings before the sun becomes intense as to not scorch them. First, stick your finger down in to the knuckle. If it’s moist you do not need to water. The problem is, in the afternoon heat they tend to wilt and that is when I was rushing with a watering can morning and night and then boom they would stand back up. However, over a while of doing this I was hurting them. Just because they are wilting in the sun does not mean this flower needs watered. Yes, while it’s true that can stand extreme heat they will no matter what wilt during the days. In the evenings you’ll notice them to perk up some if not all the way. Repeat the process in the morning. Check for moisture level and water according in the mornings only. If you’re starting to worry about root rot and you want the best chance at saving them and they’re super wet when you stick your finger down in there you need to hold off watering for a couple days and poke holes in and around all the roots to help air get down there. For potted sunpatients that have been over watered, take them out if the pot and wring what you can gently from the roots. Knock off what you can and replant with some soil that helps with fungus. I used promix bx + biofungicide. Put that in the bottom of the pot and put your plant back in. Then top with some more of it. If there’s any hope this will help. If it’s a bug issue just spray with your favorite flower pesticide. I hope this helps as it helped me!

location might help ... also a pic... but you know he end is near.. so my best suggestion is to put them out of your misery... you MIGHT try rooting a couple non affected pieces and see if you can get them thru winter.. indoors .. just for fun ... and when those get ugly in mid winter.. just throw them out.. but who knows.. maybe you can get them thru winter ... if your window sills arent too cold .... that said... cut out the uglies.. and see what happens.. and report back.. experiments help us all.. and i actually remember my experiments.. as compared to most drivel i see on the web ... lol ... ken https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Sunpatien+propagation&t=ffcm&iax=videos&ia=videos
