Never bloomed again...

[Lilac]

Hi everyone I bought this Catt in August of 2013, which is when this photo was taken.

It was in bloom with these beautiful, what I call 'corsage flowers' when I bought it, but it has never bloomed again!

I did subsequently move and there is less light where I have it now. Could that be the reason?

I notice it has bought forth sheaths, but they have been empty!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm no expert on catts but they need high light to bloom.

If the plant is healthy, is sounds like lack of light could be the problem. As mentioned, Catts require fairly high light.

Yeah...I think so too, Thanks guys! Thing is I have a situation where they either get too much sun out back and burn or not enough where they are! I'm going to have to invent something,some kind of tarp or covering with a stand where I can put them out back but give them a little cover of some kind...I'm sick at the moment so it'll have to wait till God willing I'm better...Thanks again

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Maybe just draping some gauze or burlap over where they are would help. Or set up a light on a shelf in your home to give them more light in there.

Hope you're better soon.

Could you put it under a bush or tree that has dappled sun beneath? Or morning sun for just a few hours? That's how we have to grow aloes in the desert.

Aww thanks Silken and estacion seca for the well wishes I really appreciate them! Both ideas I'm going to do, I think I have a netting that I bought for something else that I'm thinking I can invent something with, along the gate that separates the property, and I do have a little palm back there that might do the trick for the Catts! Thanks a mil! I'll post as soon as I can do it *Hugs*

I have many Cats thriving in full sun (N Ca bay area). They need to adjust to there new environment. Which means protect them now and move into the sunny location in spring as soon as night temperatures are above 40. By summer they should be adjusted and of course the new growth will adapt to the brighter light. Outdoors in full sun they need more frequent water unless you live in a humid area.

Thanks daddydoall! Sounds like a plan! I'm just raring to get over this illness, ( bad asthma) to be able to get out there and rearrange! Will post pics too.

Good luck it is a very pretty one. Get better soon.
