    They may have too much nitrogen. This will cause lush growth but few or even no blooms. Try adding bone meal to the soil. This will add phosphorous and help offset the nitrogen.

    Is there enough air circulation in the greenhouse? If not, it could be due to excessive moisture. Excessive moisture is an ideal environment for the development of fungus as well. If a fungal infection has occurred, this could prove detrimental to the plants. While fungicides are available, timing of the disease is crucial in order to save the plants.
