“Flowers come when it's a little dry. Too much water and feed gives leaves, not flowers.”

   What you'll need

   • Flowering fertiliser

Something wrong?

• Lots of leaves, no flowers

  Too much water, too much feed or too much shade. Water less and move it into sun.

• Dropping flowers and leaves

  A sudden change: moved, or watered heavily after a dry spell. It recovers.
