    Possibly overwatering and the temperature might be a bit too cold for them.I think this is in the wrong place

    I myself dont think its likely to be the temperature, unless they get full sun that is.
    More likely to be overwatering, they need to dry slightly between waterings, I find.

    Mine (three in a trough) have been flooded for weeks now ... I have to tip the trays out daily so they don't drown as we are in rainy season!

    Mine are in complete shade ... absolutely NO sun .. under the Jacaranda. My temps have dropped to 10oC and all but the middle (my eldest here, three years old and purple) are blooming at the mo ...
