I have an outdoor planter that I got at a store already potted. It is still healthy and alive but has stopped flowering. What can I do? It gets some morning sun, not a ton, and I water it when it feels dry. Any tips????

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I agree. Give it some blooming fert. and more light. A lot of plants in one pot will dry out faster especialy when it gets more light. Mine need a lot of water every day.

I fertilize my containers once a week with a "bloom booster" fertilizer and be sure to deadhead when blooms die off.

Yeh, probably not enough light, but also it can take a while for the new blooms to bud up.....

Yep, use a good bloom food. I use Colorburst brand flowering plant food.
That's a beautiful planter by the way-I hope it gets blooming for you.

There are some buds that I think will bloom soon and one of the little daisy like flowers has bloomed. Looks like it may be lovely again soon. Thanks for asking!

Oh Good! My husband talked me into buying 2 large hanging plants.(I looked at him like he was nuts. Haven't I been getting dirty looks every time I come home with a new plant? So I jumped at this quickly.) Filled with about 4 different plants. They are soo huge you can't see the pot or hanger. Now it's been a few weeks and they're not looking as good. They need a lot of water everyday. I have trimmed them hopeing to get some new blooms.

Sounds a lot like mine. I am not sure I will do the pre-potted thing next summer
