Hi Vira... how much sun is it getting? Is it in a breezy place? I have mine hung from the lower branches of my Amur Maple...it gets direct late afternoon sun, otherwise it is in light shade... is it in a hanging pot or is it in the ground? I've just tried to keep mine on the moist side at all times... sometimes when plants are adopted they need some time to adjust to our less than greenhouse situations...and the plant may be a little shocked and is dropping it's blossom to conserve....conversely...are you being too kind with the water..?? ..check the catch basin if it's in a pot..and the growers label that came with it and if it's just adjusting to your care~~ be patient...it will come along in about two weeks. If you think it may be something infesting it...get out your magnifying glass.
It's my guess that you have an otherwise healthy plant that just has to have it's needs checked into. and will be fine once it has had a chance to adjust. Good Luck!..
