Well, that makes good sense, about the roots. I'll keep that in mind. The IOSPE page says, "...flowers from winter through spring." I'm not sure what "spring" means to them. Here in Thailand, the people count three seasons -- cool dry (approx. November-February), hot dry (approx. March - May) and rainy (approx June - October). If I were back in the States I would consider now to be toward the end of Winter, with Spring starting maybe next month (I'm from Michigan).
Anyway, the IOSPE also says, "They need copious water and fertilizer while growing and less when mature." It doesn't really tell me much. What do you think about my guess that it would take years for the keiki to reach blooming size?
