# I need help! I got this plant a few weeks ago and it’s been doing…

_Posted by OllieWollie on 2023-05-31_

I need help! I got this plant a few weeks ago and it’s been doing fine but I don’t exactly know what it is. Planta said it’s a flaming sword so maybe it just hasn’t bloomed but I’m doubtful. Could someone tell me if planta is right and if it is how to help this plant (Boris) bloom?

I have had this plant before, just recently gifted mine to a friend. I think they may only bloom once.
