Why would the flowers on a Jasmine indoor plant brown and fall off?

I just got an angelwing jasmine indoor plant. It is kept at a west facing window with direct sun. The temp in the house is approx 73. The flowers bloom and within days turn brown, dry up and fall off. The leaves are still green and it is still growing. Could the direct sun be burning it? Any suggestions

Why would the flowers on a Jasmine indoor plant brown and fall off?
All flowers have a blooming period and then brown, dry up, and fall off. You seem to be taking care of your plant properly. Jasmine def. like the sun and heat. Make sure you clean up any dried up flowers that have fallen into the pot to prevent fungus from growing. Sometimes flowering plants have a harder time flowering indoors. If you notice that your plant has not flowered in a while you might want to feed it with miracle grow or some other type of flowering plant food. There are small plant food stakes that are perfect for indoor use that you can find at your garden center and sometimes in your supermarkets near the flower section.
Reply:It might be that they have lived their life, and like any plant, dry up and shed.
