Just had my wilting rosella plants diagnosed by the nursery where I bought them. They said it was typical of too much rain/water - so grow them high and don't mulch during heavy rainy periods like - A nematode or two on roots but not enough to kill a plant starting to flower like mine - suggested to water with a weak solution of condies crystals and interplant with marigolds to discourage nematodes. Bought 4 new plants to try again now that the big wet seems gone.
