Hi! Im a college student in MA, and last semester (spring) i bought a moonflower plant. And it has grown pretty well. And i currently have buds. However, i have not seen them bloom and im worried. The plant is potted in a pot and sits in my window sill during the day. I move it at night due to the cold weather (though sometimes i forget). Do i need to fertilize? Also since it is in a pot, there is nothing for it to grow off of, could this effect it at all? Any suggestions?
thank you, awen |

| How much sun does it get? They thrive on neglect so don't add anything to the soil. Perhaps someone know more about this plant growing inside. It's so rapid growing ... I would let nature take it's course and just plant seeds outside next year. |

| I grew a moonflower from seed indoors this past summer, and it DID in fact bloom for me. It was in a 10" (? maybe) pot and seemed to do alright. It does take awhile for the flower buds to mature and open. Of course, I'm assuming it was a plant like mine-though I'm finding there are a lot of different kinds of "moonflowers", each of them very different. Mine were like very large morning glories. It did outgrow its pot, though, and once I put it outside it just exploded with new growth, and for a few weeks it had several blooms opening each night! Anyway, I hope your moonflowers have bloomed (It's been a while since you posted I noticed), and good luck with planting outside. It's very much worth it if you can! |
