help please π
Any ideas on how to get my 3 year old Winter Sweet to flower? It is 1.5m high. Always lots of new growth. I think I get buds but they must fall off because I have a million leaves before I know it and no flowers.

For example: while it can be propagated easily by rooting or by air layering, grown from seed can take up to as long as 14 years (I have read it averages 3-7 years).Β It blooms on branches from the prior year. so be careful if pruning it.
