Sushmita ji, the main reason for your plants note flowering is due to
overcrowding as it is not getting the required food. So you have to
transplant them in medium sized pots @ 2 plants in a pot.Select the
healthy plants and discard the rest. Plant them in soil mixed with dried
cow dung.
One thing I forgot, give them full sunlight and timely watering.

Mani.

For proper identification of Lindernia species it is importnat to have
description of the capsules and number of stamens. L. crustacea is
quiet common and i am sure this plant is not L. crustacea.

These gorgeous flowers are the varieties of cactus most of these belong
