Troubleshooting

Lack of Flowers

Ensure the plant receives adequate sunlight. Prune after flowering, as pruning at the wrong time can remove flower buds. Make sure your soil isn't too rich in nitrogen, which can lead to foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Yellowing Leaves

Check for overwatering or underwatering. Adjust watering accordingly. Also, check for pests and diseases, and treat as necessary.

Pests or Diseases

Inspect the plant regularly for pests or diseases. Treat any infestations or infections promptly with appropriate insecticides or fungicides.
