Hi. I have planted some lobelias in hanging baskets which have been doing great but recently one side started going limp and wilting. There's nothing unusual that I so - I have watered everyday during hot weather in London, UK, there are drainage holes in basket... Please help

    I know someone who plants lobelia in all her pots and baskets as a sort of “canary in a coal mine”.  They are the first to wilt when water is needed.   And it’s been VERY hot 🥵

    You might need to water twice a day at the moment. Try moving the baskets to a shadier spot for a week. Yes, they do tend to collapse before other plants, but can recover. You might need to trim the plant back a bit if it has gone over.
