Affect? as in... cause them to grow sideways or something? Anyway, they are hungry things, and if you mean you want them to grow big and bloom a lot, use plenty of compost worked into the soil to make it nice and rich. Don't let them get too dried out. Good luck, pardon my jerking you around with the word 'affect', couldn't resist.

If you want to affect them so that they grow, then they need plenty of sun and water.

If you want the flower to keep blooming pick off the dead flower & what i do is open up the dead flower & replant the seeds. Hope it helped you out.

Joyce, I forgot about deadheading them, and thanks for the tip on replanting the seeds.

Deadhead them before the dried flowers turn to seed. Your plants will be bushier and have more flowers. Flowering plants require water to product flowers.
