cuitlauzina pendula finally in bloom
I have had her since 2011. Although it was a specimen plant, never bloomed. In fact , each growth was more and more sad.
This year , I have done all the do's until the new growth is couple of inch long . Thought another year without flowers. I put her outside in April and the spike started emerging end of may and here we are.
I think it does like bright light but easy on very strong sunshine as leaves might burn and looks like it does like a little temperate weather so London is perfect  |

It is a lovely batch of flowers. Sometimes, my plants seem to take forever to bloom, but once they bloom, it is worth it! I am not familiar with this plant, would you post a picture of the plant? Thank you.

Congrats for flowering this species. To my knowledge they need a long strictly dry rest period for flowering. But I only ordered one for autumn and have no personal experience so far.

I agree, I was so happy when I see the flower spike. It is beautiful and fragrant.The plant is the second from the right. Sorry picture seems to be upside down for some reason |

They do need a dry rest but still needs some water once every 2-3 weeks. I tent to give tiny bit of water so it doesn't shrivel
