They need watering twice a day Flowering, and they dont like the morning sun on them, Lots of critters are attracted to them and i think there a wee bit sensitive, I had 3 then 2 and now 1 which is still in the Greenhouse and theres no sign of the "V" yet so im pretty sure i wont be gett'n any flowers this year.....
Mine flowered last year too..

They also need lots of feeding too!...Its a shame they aren't flowering, yours too Daisy. It may not have been warm enough in the greenhouse for them. The conservatory (if you have one) would be better, as they are tropical plants.
The unfavourable weather during July/August may have had something to do with it too.!!!
Good luck for next year.

Hi There:)
It could be sad.
However, more likely, is that the soil nutrients are wrong.
Buy the right fertilizer and you will almost definitely see change.
Here is an easy rule of thumb for all your plants
Fertilzer, by law, has 3 magic numbers on it such as 10-10-5.
Here's what they mean.
first number = nitrogen. This is for green growth. Makes the plant bigger but is not for flowers.
Second number is for phosphorous. This is plant food for making flowers and fruit.
Third number is potasium. makes for stronger healthier plants.
In your case try one with numbers such as 5-20-5 or 10 50-10. the ratio is what matters here. ( High in phosphoros )
You can also by the phosphoros on its own. mix into water and water as usual. Liquid form is absorbed most quickly. You can also buy slow release pellets and put them on or in the soil. ( Not a good idea if you have small kids around)
Remeber never overdose or you might kill it. too little is better than too much.
Always follow the instructions and be patient.
Also, if you are somewhere hot, this is a thirsty plant water every day.
I hope that helps
