I recently received a Primrose plant. It had beautiful flowers but they've
all went away. Now it's just a green plant. What can I do to get it to
bloom again? Is it ok to keep this as a house plant? Thanks for any
advice!

I believe they are grown better outside. Once spring arrives you can plant
it outside in partial shade, well drained soil. The plants are short lived
but reseed themselves (what did you do with the flowers after they died?) or
may produce offsets of main plant. I don't know if you will have any luck
getting the plant you now have to rebloom.

They are spring blooming perennials. It probably won't bloom again for you
this year. Plant it outside in partial sun to partial shade and you will
probably get blooms again next spring. Of course, if it is snowy where you
are, wait until it gets warmer as the plant is used to being indoors and
will not like being planted outside in the snow. I doubt that you will be
able to keep it indoors indefinitely. I think they are sold as seasonal
plants in the florist trade meant to be discarded after they bloom.

I've had good luck with them outside in partial shade. They need a
reasonable amount of water and fade out in the heat of summer, but beautiful
blooms every spring. They multiply fairly quickly and are pretty easy to
divide. I've never heard of them grown as a house plant permanently.
