It would help to know what the plant is.  Most of the time when the petals fall off the flower the flower needs to be deadheaded.  On a rose this means pruning back to the last five petal set of leaves.  On a daisy it means cutting off the flower and the stem all the way to the base of the plant.  Deadheading encourages new flowers.
