Silver Lace Vine Not Blooming

Question

My silver lace vine is three years old and has grown profusely but doesn’t bloom. Any suggestions? I have amended my soil well. We have sandy soil here.

Answer 1

This is likely from a nutrient imbalance in the soil. A soil test would tell you more but generally when you have lush green growth and little to no blooming, this means too much nitrogen and not enough phosphorus (which is what promotes flowering in plants). Add a phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil and see if this helps any.
