It hasn't bloomed yet!
It has soo many roots and has grown almost a foot since I have had it and potted it in a clay hanging basket with some coarse media. Idk what its waiting on, but i know it will bloom very soon, I can just feel it!
It has bloomed twice before at a very small size. So I am guessing it took this long break to grow tons of leaves and roots before sending out a super spike.

In the 3 months that I have had mine, it has grown 4 new leaves and just this week started putting out some "happy sap" off the main stem. I hope this cultivar isn't a stubborn bloomer!

Well in a year mine has grown over 10 leaves and tons of roots. It is a cross between ponpimol & coerulea. Which means its more inclined to bloom during the cooler months. So like I was saying I have a feeling that it will be blooming for me very soon because it seems quite happy where it is. Summer is cooling down, and we're getting more rains, and the nights and day temps are coming down some.
