I have a mock orange - looks to be in good health - about 5 years old - has never bloomed - do I have to just get okay with it not blooming, or is there something I should be doing??

Hey Erin...I actually get this question a lot, so don't feel too bad. In fact, I even wrote an article about this very topic. You can find the article at the following link that you will have to cut and paste into your web browser's URL: http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/care/why-wont-my-plant-flower

There are several things that could cause this issue, but I would say that it is likely one of two things. Either your mock orange's soil has too much nitrogen, or it is not getting enough sunlight. The fact that you said it's 5 years old leads me to believe that it is in a spot that isn't getting the best sunlight. The process of flowering is an expensive process for the plant and if the plant can't afford to do it, it will refrain. Plants will need a lot of energy to flower successfully, so if it can't get enough energy from the sun they may never flower. Have you tried using your EasyBloom to see the sunlight situation?

I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers...Dr. Robby
