I received my plant two years ago as a gift. I've waited two years for a flower but very much worth the wait. I also have three large pups. The plant has thrived on relative neglect. Seems to love the warm humid climate. It sits on my front deck and only gets the late afternoon sun.I have never fed it and only repotted four months ago. Also, green tree frogs can occasionally been found in the cups having a little bathe, so cute. Such a beautiful plant to have right next to my front door.
It will only bloom once, so once the offshoot is 1/3 the size of the mother plant, you can cut off the offshoot and dispose of the mother plant. I have read that you can force the offshoot to bloom by placing the plant in a large plastic bag with a whole apple. I haven't tried it yet though.
The flower of this plant is so beautiful and long lasting it is
well worth the waiting for it to bloom. I also like it for the
foliage which is bold and beautiful.
