    These plants do best in part sun. This should help with the legginess. Also, the plant may simply need to be trimmed back a bit to promote new growth.

    This plant needs shade. The afternoon sun is too strong for it. Move it to a spot that only gets morning or filtered sun.

    You may be lacking phosphorus. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.

    Up the watering and give it some phosphorus rich fertilizer or add bone meal to the soil to help encourage blooming.
