My red secret loves me too much! How do I get her to stop flowering? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ She flowers for me all the time and takes so long to push them out! I donโ€™t get new leaves I just get flowers now!

    Are you in the UK? Is this placed in a bathroom? Do you have the blinds closed or open most of the time? Just wondering about all the 'things'. If a plant flowers, it tends to suggest it's in 'survival mode'. 'need to flower as I might die soon so populate' kinda vibe ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸผโœŒ๐Ÿผ Just think, it's not happy......

    I live in California. Placed in living room right next to an east facing window with blinds open daily with grow light 12 hrs. She hasnโ€™t been losing leaves or showing any signs of stress to suggest these flower are โ€œstress bloomsโ€. Just the same 2 leaves, note 3 flower with this set of leaves.

    Your cuprea looks good. They do like to be slightly rootbound, that pot might be a little big. Mine just gave me 7 flowers in a row,and currently 2 new leafs. That cycle has been going on for almost 2 years, I wouldn't worry too much. I got mine as a tiny plug close to 2 years ago and she is quite large now. Looking at your profile, it looks like you've had her for about a month if that's correct, just give it some time. She'll come around, they're not the fastest growing alos, and the flowers take forever. Lol.

    I have had her for 2 years +. Just joined this app not too long ago. She has large roots system hence the size of the pot. I hate cutting back roots. So nice to hear mine is not the only flowering crazy mama!

      Oh ok, that makes sense why it shows a month. I wouldn't cute the roots on this one either, they don't like to be messed with too much. The constant flowering is kinda of annoying ๐Ÿ™„, I tried cutting them off, which didn't hurt the plant, but she just continued on with more flowers. Now I just ignore it and wait until she's done. I do have mine in Semi-Hydro, she didn't do well in soil for me. I do suggest watching the Sydney plant guy on YouTube, very in depth video on cuprea. Unfortunately it won't let me add the link, but I definitely recommend checking it out.
