@PoisedAlbo
Thanks Audrey I've read you have to put them in the dark for a few weeks to make them flower
@Chevysgirl11 just seeing this. Yes usually in the September I put mine on a lower shelf so that it doesnโ€™t get hardly any light and it flowered for me three times last year.
I bring mine to bloom once a yr, mostly because it is hard to find a cool dark place to keep it for a month. I have Night Blindness and have to have lights on just to be able too see. So, input him in the garage in Sept for the month and bring him out in the first week of Oct. It is still it will be bloom in Dec. I broke a little leeft off by accident and just popped it in the soil they look like yours. It is still getting up to 100+ temps during the days here in Southern Arizona. be

Hi Marie that's great to know because I really want to try to get mine to bloom this year I got the original plant last November and it was in bloom So I'm thinking about putting mine in a cupboard Would I leave it there 24/7 for a month? And how about watering it in that time Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ’š
@Chevysgirl11 im sorry I did answer sooner. Yes in the 24/7. I water mine once it is dry. About 7-9 days. At the end of the dark period, I take it out and give it good watering little plant food with that and full sun or about 4 hrs for the first few days, then put t in a good sun facing window or use a grow light for 6-8 hours a day. is timehis time
