What should I do if the plants are not flowering?

Troubleshooting
Seeds fail to germinate
Ensure seeds are planted at the correct depth in warm, moist soil. Check for consistent moisture and avoid extreme temperatures. Use fresh seeds if germination rates are consistently low.
Plants are leggy and weak
Verify that the plants are receiving adequate sunlight. Insufficient light can cause weak, stretched growth. Ensure proper watering and consider a light feeding with a balanced fertilizer.
Yellow beans are not forming
Confirm adequate pollination and check for consistent watering and feeding. Extreme weather conditions or nutrient deficiencies can affect flowering and pod set.
Pests on leaves or pods
Inspect plants regularly for common pests like aphids. Hand-remove pests or use a gentle insecticidal soap, following product instructions carefully. Encourage beneficial insects.
