Q.How can I try to get blooms on my indoor gerbera plant?It is “all leaves” and new leaves appear about every other day!– sometimes

Zone Baltimore, MD (indoors) | Natalie added on August 5, 2019 | Answered

two or three at a time! Should I replant to a larger pot? When I first got this plant it had lovely blooms but after a month or so they wilted and none have bloomed since. It hated the sun so it now gets overhead lighting most of the day and evening.
I welcome your suggestions.

It is likely planted in a mix that has too much nitrogen or not enough phosphorus and potassium. High nitrogen feeds, or soil will prevent flowering, and cause it to only grow leaves. You will have to offset this by adding phosphorus and potassium.
