I've had this plant probably five years. It bloomed every year, generally starting in June, up until last year. Last year, I finally discovered that it was covered in scale. After I finally got rid of the scale, I fertilized and watered regularly and left the pot in the same place it had always occupied, ie, under a tree (part sun and part shade). So it has produced zero blooms in two seasons now.
( I have tried Superbloom to no avail.)
It is in probably about a 10 gallon pot. I've never cut it back severely or repotted it. Should this be my next step? Oh yes. It is greenhoused in winter and never dies down.
Next question: Should the leaves of this plant get a deep green? Mine never do no matter how much I try. I've used boron, ironite, and epsom salts, along with the regular fertilizers.
Has anyone had any experience with this plant?
Thanks for your advice!
