I’m not sure - but almost looks like a flaming Katy? Very pretty!

that is what i thought too! It has never flowered though.. thanks for the input!

Yeah definitely looks like my Flaming Katy! I’ve heard they like a period of darkness before flowering. I’ve had luck just by leaving her in my west facing window and she would get like 10-12 hours of darkness in the winter and then would bloom again

Those leaves definitely match with this one! I’ve had the grow light on it pretty consistently because it’s really helped it grow, I’ll try and give it a break and keep it in natural light. Yours is so beautiful!

Flaming Katy before flowering maybe?
