Someone in the past said she moved her's about the house and it seemed to encourage flowering, I have taken this advice and moved mine into a cool bedroom I will let you know if it flowers, it worked with my Orchid which has flowered for the last 5 years after I first moved it from my warm sitting room to my very cold dining room in my old Victorian house, I'm now living in a lovely cosy bungalow but the spare bedroom is cool and it has continued to delight me every time I look at it, the flowers also lasts a very long time -

My used to bloom three and four times a year. Water them much more frequently and put in a west facing very sunny room. I had no curtain or blinds on My dining room windows. Don’t be Quick to transplant to larger pots. Let them be a little crowded. And water well. -

I withhold water for 90 days, then water daily with a diluted solution of a fast-acting fertilizer like Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food. Good luck.

I put my outside in the shade until the first cold weather and then brought it in and put it in a sunny window and it was covered in blooms for the holidays. -

I have mine in a mixture of potting soil and cactus soil. 70 potting soil 30 cactus. Water every 1-2 weeks. Mine is on the south facing side of the room, never in direct sun, but get lite all day.Mine blooms at Thanksgiving ! If I knew how to put a picture on this site I would, but I don’t. Mine is so pretty I have it as wallpaper on my cell phone. It gives me a deep pink and 1 (one) white!Hope this helps. Good luck.Carolyn from NH
