An important buying and growing tip buy your plant from the grower you know and ask if the plant have been grown in lowland condition as this will let the plant flower freely and easy. I bought my plants as “top-cut” almost two years ago at Sidcor along Main Ave., Quezon City from a friend of Quezon Province. I did not flower for the first year. But the following year.,
the plans produced several flowers and I felt I was in heaven.
