Easter lily vine & Golden Chalice questions

15 years ago

I have both these & they are huge but have never bloomed.What do I need to do? Both get sun till about 3 pm.But I have tried them in different exposures.I water & fertilize.Overwinter in the greenhouse with the bananas & hibiscus.I get nothing but leaves.I'm thinking about tossing them both!! Thanks in advance for ANY help.

I would stop fertilizing. They may be getting too much nitrogen and that will promote great leaf growth but not flowers. If you can find it, try an 0-10-10 or something with no nitrogen. Good luck!
