NOID Catt
I picked this up several years ago at Trader Joe's, and couldn't get more than one or two blooms on it. After reading some posts by Mauro, and several other members, on growing the taller bifoliates, this is what I got this year. Six flowers, about 2 1/2 inches across.  I like it a lot. Thanks guys!

Looks a lot like Blc. Momilani Rainbow. There are a few different clones out there, but this looks like a dead ringer.

Thanks everyone. The main change I made besides more light and water is repotting. I don't remember which post it was in, but Mauro mentioned that if you repot before new roots on the new growth begin, these guys will pretty much refuse to grow properly, sometimes for several years. As you can see from the pic, that's exactly what happened with this one. Several small, weak growths before this newest one, which is just over a foot tall.

I have the same Blc. Momilani - small seedling - 2/ 3 inch leaves!
Do you grow it outside or under lights?
any advice for the novice?
