Hey all, I’ve had this flaming Katy for a while but never thought to put it in on here I’m wondering cause I got her for my birthday it’s not just a here take this it’s going to die in a month, it can actually be a house plant that I can keep alive?
Yea they are a house plant, so you can keep it alive as long as you care for it
2 J'aimeI have one too and I can't get it to flower again. :(
2 J'aime I am in the same position as you!
0 J'aime 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.

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.

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!
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 😢
0 J'aimeThese are my 2. One just lost all its flowers but it is starting to rebloom.
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
0 J'aimeYeah. I have one in stoneware and the other is plastic. Did you repot them?
0 J'aimeAlso, make sure you take off all the dead blooms. That will keep them from rerouting.
