Re: Identify please
It looks like that it is not the apical or central bud, usually the flowering takes place from central bud. However, if this bud is allowed to grow the whole summer season it may start producing blooms by November, if not then a dormancy of three months will induce the flowering.. this is how it goes usually ..

Re: Identify please
It should be a loose medium, and using DAP after a month will benefit..
