The browning isn't a big deal. I bring mine outside for the summer (shade) and the get very happy! When I bring them back in before frost, I mist them with water (it's much dryer inside) and that does the trick, along with regular watering, hopefully before they get to the wilt stage. I give them a fairly diluted fertilizer now and then. All 3 pots are blooming right now and also bloom outside- very pretty. I love them!
