Hello all! Any tips on how to get this kind of plant to bloom? I propagated it about a year ago and the plant is doing great I just can’t seem to get any flowers :(

I’m in the same boat with mine. It had flowers when I bought it but hasn’t had any since. 😕 I was reading that they’re similar to poinsettias and amaryllis where they need a period of complete darkness during the late summer/early fall to help them store energy for blooms. Haven’t tried it though, so I can’t attest to it working. 😅

I went through this as well. I believe I cut it back a little, kept it in the sun, ignored it, and nothing. LOL, however, it started blooming late in the fall and has beautiful flowers. I need to separate it into a couple of different pots as it has taken over. I will be a surprise when it blooms!
