Cristina hi! I have mine positioned in full sunshine....I rarely fertilize them.It may be a good idea to have a soil test..sometimes an excess amount of nitrogen could be the problem....as the nitrogen promotes the leafy growth and may stunt the flower bud development....maybe your garden centre can recommend a specific fertilizer...all the best Waheeda

I have a Laburnum x watereri vossii they are said to like any soil Cristina and plenty of sun. But when mine was not doing so well (few flowers and yellow leaves) a specialist grower said it needed a more acid soil to do well and to open it out a bit to the sun. So I lightly pruned up inside to let more light in and every spring I now give mine a thick mulch of ericasous compost. You can see the results on my latest pics.
