I have tried growing Melampodium var. Million Gold on my balcony. It grows on a coir sheet with soil spread on it. It only keeps spreading and growing leaves but no flowers.

What conditions does it need to flower?

You haven't said how deep the soil layer is, but really, if you want it to grow sufficiently to produce flowers, put it in a pot with drainage holes, in free draining potting medium - you need some depth of soil (6 inches minimum) for the plant to mature sufficiently to get to the flowering stage.
