Thanks for the info. Should I snap off the spent blossoms immediately, or let them fall when completely dry? Should I try misting?

I take the spent blossoms off when they look withered and ugly. I just snap them off right where they meet the stem.

Misting won’t be of benefit, but check if it needs a drink.

Does your pot have good drainage? They like to try out between watering, except, again, they need a little more water when in bloom.

My ‘Miss Peach’ has been in the same clay pot for 10 years. This has been her best bloom-year ever - so I hope it’s not her last! (I started some cuttings for my Mom - I think we talked about that?)
