    Grown outdoors, they do flower in October. However, unless you can give a potted plant an extreme level of light (a solarium, or summers outdoors) you're unlikely to see them. This article has some information you might find interesting. http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/plants/landscape/shrubs/hgic1088.html

    Repotting is a topic without a lot of agreement. Some people advise repotting every year, some every 2 years, some only when necessary. Some people recommend repotting only in early summer, just before the plant goes into its major growth cycle. Others find repotting at any time is successful. The pertinent questions about repotting are how large a pot, what kind of soil, and does the plant really need repotting. This article will get you started on answering those questions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/learn-more-about-repotting-houseplants.htm

    Your plant may be getting uneven water.

    If this is potted, make sure your watering the entire pot.

    You definitely don't want to put rick soil in these. And they, more than likely, received too much rain as well. Unfortunately, your only option may be repotting in a mis of potting soil, and only 1/3 of this should be a mix of compost. 2 parts soil to 1 part compost.

    Three options:
    1. Grub it out (pick and shovel)
    2. Hire a stump grinding service, or rent a stump grinding machine and do it yourself.
    3. Poison the stump with an herbicide. (Inquire about stump killer herbicide treatment at your local garden center; or hire a professional tree or landscape service)
