It was a school project to grow nasturtiums and record their growth. When I look at information and pictures of this plant, I see flowers. But my plant is all leafy and no flowers. What is wrong? The plant has already been growing for like a month to a month and a half. Shouldn't it be blooming already?

It may not be time. I think I remember my nasturtiums taking a while to flower. However, it could also be that they need more Sun. They are a full sun loving flower so all the sun they can get the better. It could also be the fertilizer you are using or not using. Try a fertilizer higher in Phosphorous than Nitrogen. Other than that, just be patient and they may be ready to bloom anytime now.
Good luck

Avoid using any kind of fertilizer. Nasturtium tends to like a sparse soil, and if there are too many nutrients you will only get leaves.

Is it in a lot of bright sunlight (which they love)? Does it have fertilizer (like 20-6-16 that helps flowering)? If all is well with the conditions then just wait longer.
