It's very easy to grow and flower. I got mine as a little seedling a few years ago and been blooming nonstop since, about x2 a year, once in spring and again in fall. Mine started blooming when the plant is about 6" tall, Plant grow very slow, about 2-3 leaf a year.
Light: medium to high, if you see purple tint on leaf, the light is good
Temp: inter-warm, night mim about 15-16' winter, will grow faster if u grow in warmer temp
Water: once a day spring/summer, winter - once 2-3 days, very drough resistent w leathery leaf and big fat roots
Potting: mine in small claypot with, winecork and a few moss (just to stabalize the plant), the roots are hard to keep in the pot anyway. You have to keep it up with totem once the plant get taller.
