Do Morning Glory Plants have to be planted east to Flower?

I'm growing my morning glory vine inside my room with adequate conditions. It gets partial sun all day long from my window and is very healthy. I also opted to add humidifier to my room which has really helps make my plant thrive. One thing is no Flowers. I t is Heavenly Blue strain. I am not finding this surprising because it is only about 2 months old but I read that they have to have sunlight in the morning thus spawning the name Morning glories. My window does not face east but rather NW. So I was wondering if it gets enough light to grow nice and plentiful will it still need to be planted to the east. I can transplant but not now because it is way to harsh outside. I need flowers so does anyone know if I have to plant it so where it gets sunlight directly in the morning. Thanks

I've planted them east, I've planted them west, they've thrived and bloomed in both locations. On the east fence, the blooms lasted longer, because the sun didn't cause them to wither as quickly as the ones on the west fence.





Growing them indoors; that's interesting. You may have to wait a while longer for them to bloom, it seems to take the plants a long time to get to the blooming staage, but it should happen pretty soon.


All the best with your morning glories!
Reply:Don't think I've ever seen morning glories on the east. Have seen them on the north many times. But then, I've never seen morning glories indoors, either. Shouldn't make a difference. I think morning glory just means that they bloom in the morning. Maybe like 4 o'clocks that bloom after 4 o'clock. Or anytime they're shaded, like on a cloudy day.
Reply:No, mine last year din't flower until they were three months old.
Reply:I have never seen this planted indoors. It needs the bees to cross pollinate it. I plant this on my north side of the back yard.
