So pretty! Do you have any tips to help me get a bloom? I have mine in a west facing window with a porch. Maybe that’s not enough light. I’ve had mine for two years.

i can’t lie, i’m not sure how they even got here! i recently cut 3-4 inches off my vine to propagate along with staying consistent in removing any drying older leaves. perhaps cutting the vine provided the plant with more energy to grow?

she also gets a lot of sun!

Does it smell bad? I purchased mine for the foliage not knowing the flowers supposedly stink.

#### Aliyah replied on 2026-07-15

i haven’t noticed any smells, but it is about 5 feet from my air purifier so i’ll turn it off and get back to you!!

#### Aliyah replied on 2026-07-16

it is with immense shock as I finally share the news with you: they are absolutely funky. i decided to take a sniff of the blooming flower before it fully matured… dirty socks. clipped and tossed!

Oh my gosh! Thank you for the update!
