I have a cutting that just gave me flowers for the past few weeks. Seemed fine but lately something has been eaten 2 or 3 petals off each flower and, I'm unsure but, the flower buds are either getting knocked off or cut off by whatever is eating them. Other than wasps looking for sap from base of the leaves and having seen a few grasshoppers around eating my other plants I have no clue what could be doing this.

This is what the wasps take from.

@nuswodahs good to see you posting again. I think it might just be the bud dropping off. One of mine is doing the same last week and at first I thought it was from lack of watering but it rained and the same thing happened. Anyway, now it is back to having one or 2 flowers.
