Hello all, Interested in some advice for this plant: #4 Mother was wondering why the merry golds haven't bloomed yet. There seems to be a pod on this one plant but I don't know if it is seed or flower. Is it too hot? First year and no blooms (*grown from seed)? Interested to find out; Was wondering if pruning them would encourage bushier growth and blooms (they are kind of falling over, too tall and heavy). Also, they were grown in a greenhouse and transplanted.
Even the ones outside haven't bloomed yet. :( They get full morning and mid-day sun but eventually when the sun goes into afternoon/evening the house shades the outside ones too. The ones in the greenhouse have l.e.d grow-lights above them now as well, still don't know if the pod is a seed or flower. Last I checked this one was the only one that had it (which is why I took a pic of this one, guess I could do them all! I will in the morning!). Thanks for your response!
Turns out that pod was the first flower! It finally bloomed (and out of all of them I believe this is the only one that has so far). Guess they take a while longer from seed? First year, late blooms?
