I have a New Guinea that was tall/leggy so I pinched it back on top. It's now bushing out but there are no blooms...

    Give it more time. You adjusted part of the reproductive organs, and the plant needs healing time. If it is getting enough sun and water, it shouldn’t be long.

    Hi Teresa. I agree. A little more time. The plant is putting all of its energy into filling back out now but should bloom.

    You did exactly the right thing and now you just need to be give it some time to do its thing. Blooms will return when the plant is ready.
