Also you may have to much Nitrogen in the soil.
You can add a Phosphorous rich fertilizer such as Bone Meal to promote flowering.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/carolina-allspice/carolina-allspice-shrubs.htm

7aQ.Calycanthus plant
I purchased a sweet shrub(Calycanthus) a couple of years ago, and it really hasn't grown into what I was expecting, and this year it looks horrible. I've attached a picture. Would you be able to identify what could be wrong?

Certified ExpertA.This appears to be a fungal issue paired with a pH issue. I do have a method to curing this that I like to use. The soil priming part is most important as this will, both, correct pH and kill the infection. Although the spray is not completely necessary, it will help, and prevent insect problems in the future. The recipe is as follows:
First, you will want to prime the soil with dolomitic lime, then spread wettable sulfur to Kill off any infection in the soil. I Also like to spray the plant itself. Mix a few drops of one or more of these ingredients into warm water with a spoonful of coconut oil: Rosemary oil, lavender oil, neem oil, garlic oil, cinnamon extract/oil and for really bad cases, also add clove oil.

Certified ExpertA.Generally, Autumn is best. This should happen when the temperatures cool off, but there needs to be plenty of time before the first frost to let the roots recover. Spring is acceptable, as well.

Certified ExpertA.It should do fine for a while in a pot, however, be aware that it can grow up to nine feet so you may want to consider transplanting it at some point. Start out with a medium-sized pot, and repot it in gradually larger pots as it grows.
Here's an article about its care:
