Yea they are a house plant, so you can keep it alive as long as you care for it ### Betty님이 2025-08-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have one too and I can't get it to flower again. :( #### Miranda님이 2025-08-09에 답변했습니다. I am in the same position as you! #### Miranda님이 2025-08-09에 답변했습니다. I repotted a long time ago and it still hasn’t fully rooted in… it’s producing new leaves so I guess there is that. #### Stigandi님이 2026-10-03에 답변했습니다. Provide 14 Hours of Total Darkness: Every single afternoon, place the plant into a pitch-black closet or cover it completely with a heavy, light-blocking cardboard box. This must last for 14 hours straight (e.g., from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM). The darkness must be absolute—even ambient light from a television, streetlight, or passing room light can disrupt the cycle and stall blooming. Provide 10 Hours of Bright Light: Every morning, take the plant out of the dark and put it in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight for 10 hours. Withhold Water and Fertilizer: Reduce watering significantly during this 6-week dark period. Only water it lightly if the soil is dry down several inches. Avoid giving it any fertilizer during this time. ### Britt Brat님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. These are mine! I put them outside for the summer and inside for the colder months! Only 2 of them are flowering so far. Believe it or not I chopped them completely down a few months ago and they grew back better so there’s that! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/16NBOv_JicqyuKlogrP8t1qYnFabINfQNnmMg7CiaoE/CZh9E6AfS8mMQZvB3qN1Lw.webp?size=large) ### GARDEN GIRL님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thanks everyone just watered and I’m so happy that it is a house plant Sorry for you guys who can’t get it to flower again 😢 #### Linzraye7님이 2025-10-25에 답변했습니다. These are my 2. One just lost all its flowers but it is starting to rebloom. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ED6Jmq_n9V36ZoHSZBLLIKWIb_PsKGfLXvhmblLa4wM/aGWblke9Tk60bcbVrx5GvQ.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ED6Jmq_n9V36ZoHSZBLLIKWIb_PsKGfLXvhmblLa4wM/xKUcEbMeSoeoIhKHmBAVOQ.webp?size=large) ### GARDEN GIRL님이 2025-11-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Those are really pretty and mine still isn’t flowering but I think it’s because it’s in a terra-cotta pot I’ve heard they aren’t great #### Linzraye7님이 2025-12-20에 답변했습니다. Yeah. I have one in stoneware and the other is plastic. Did you repot them? #### Linzraye7님이 2025-12-20에 답변했습니다. Also, make sure you take off all the dead blooms. That will keep them from rerouting. #### Linzraye7님이 2025-12-20에 답변했습니다. Resprouting\* ### GARDEN GIRL님이 2025-12-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thank you 😊 ### LA님이 2026-06-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. When do you cut the flowers off of the Katy plant? --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
