Could be they need more water, & I'd bet they need a lot more sun;
it's hard to get enough sunlight for cannas indoors.

Best luck!

I have the same thing going on with mine. I actually think it's too much water.

Dig one out a bit. If it's dark and soupy looking, then it's probably too much water. Maybe the soil's too dense and doesn't drain correctly.

Good luck!
