Good to know as I have no idea myself. My nep never flower though the vine is quite long and the tip is getting smaller and smaller. How can we induce flowering in nep? Mayb apply P only :confused:

I do not think there is a general season for all species. Different species flower at different times. Usually high light (and once the plant has started to vine for quite a while) will induce flowering. Dryer conditions also helps. My Miranda is the only one that has ever flowered for me, but it did so at different times of the year.

Good question and I can tell you eventhough there's no flowering season for nep (as far as I know), I do think certain weather condition some how will trigger neps to flower more readily, like the weather I'm experiecing right now in my area (inconsistent weather like rain and shine).

However this doesn't mean the flower will be fertile or receptive. That will mainly depending on the health and age of the plant. In oder for a nep to flower, the nep must be a mature plant (ie. going to and already producing uppers in most cases).
