Mine has been Flowering for a month or more and is just starting to fade...23 spikes on many leads. This plant I have had for about 10 or 12 years. I really enjoy it!

Wow, thats amazing!

I have it in an oval glazed bowl...earth color; I have the soil and bark mix slightly mounded over stone underneath...outside in light shade in summer...drain rainwater if it gets flooded. Miracle grow weakly in summer. It has been like this for years!

Yay, love this one. Mine are just starting to fade having been open quite a while. These plants can get quite big, I have four divisions of my original one and two of those divisions are now pretty big, I keep having to remove old growths (prune them) to keep the plants in check. I stopped keeping the removed pieces and potting them up after I just had too many of the plants for a while and now just keep the four.

I have given a lot away too...the plant, finally happy, will grow and grow...I love it!
