Another great mini. I have found that if I give it high light throughout the year (notice the red tinge on leaves), it blooms continuously throughout the year on every new growth.

Nice! How high is high light? I like pushing my plants to the limits too.

It's funny, I own a light meter, but never use it. I usually let the plant tell me by the color of its leaves. I grow it in a southeast window during the winter and outside during the summer, it gets direct sun from about 7 am - 11 am, then dappled light the rest of the day.

It's doing the trick! Keep it up!

Whatever you're doing...is working! :faint:

That's such a cutie...and constant blooms?
Doesn't get much better than that :banana:

It's such a cutie.

That's a great plant, Snow. I have a young Crystelle Smith 'Aileen' so am looking forward to some flowers, soon I hope! :)

It will, Shirley, and then it'll keep going and going and going... it's a little energizer bunny! You'll love it!
