How to care for petuinas and cyclamen flowers in a pot?

[1sonia]

Hey guys - I’m trying to work out how to keep my petunias + cyclamen from dying.

The petunias are not blooming at all and some blooms have died. The cyclamen have some wilting leaves.

I’ve read a lot online one how to care for them but I feel I’m doing something wrong. I was watering on top of the flower until I was told not to. Now I water 1-2 times a week around the plant, not directly on top.

I do have them in shape and sun. I do have petunias in the backyard in a pot and They’re blooming fine and I haven’t even taken much care of them and it’s rained quite a bit.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

@Noelle  thank you for this information-

my potting mix and flowers are just 2 weeks old. So they’re very new. 
pill use the same mix but grab some more flowers. The petunias look a little shabby. Interestingly I have some in a barrel from buntings in my backyard and they’re blooming well but perhaps the excess water filter through the barrel. 
thanks for the info on the cyclamen. I’ll leave them alone. 

are they particular flowers that just bloom all year round?
