If you have a special plant that you absolutely must get pods on, there are some tricks. Usually, if you give it plenty of water, some shade, and back off the fertilizer, you'll get pods. In extreme cases, try this.

If you put your pod parents in pots, you'll be able to give them full sun until they start to bloom, then you can move them under shade. Also, hitting a tetraploid with diploid pollen for the first few blooms seems to get them into a "pod-setting frame of mind".
