Sweetpeas

Iv started to grow some sweet pea flowers and I did to different pots of them and my pot that I kept in my house has grown nice and tall but they wilt alot, I do water them everday, my other half are nice and stick up right. I did transplant them together a few weeks ago and the wilted ones are now just wilted to the floor while some are raised abit.

Does anyone know why they do that??

Hi :D

I have to ask you why you are growing them indoors? They are fully hardy. I plant mine in a sheltered position outside in October although they can be planted in the spring as well but you will get a later show.
I am not sure exactly what you meant in your post but if you have transplanted the indoor ones outside it would be too much of a shock to have moved them from the warmth of your house to our still very chilly weather outside. Is that what you did?
As for wilting they do need a very long rootrun so a deep pot is best.
Hope that helps you. :)
