Randy,

In order to get your vine to flower, I'd recommend high light levels and a dry spell during the winter months...this usually does the trick for spring flowers to appear. But, keep in mind that the vine needs to be much longer that what you currently have (at least double the length) and the vine shouldn't be growing straight up (it needs to grow horizontally at some point or even trail back down whatever it's growing on). Good luck!
