Thank you in advance. Love the blossoms.

I grow mine under a 5o% shade cloth covered greenhouse. So it gets 50% direct sunlight most of the day and in the afternoon the sunlight is shining directly under the greenhouse cover so it gets full sunlight after 3pm. I fertilize regularly based on the amount of hours of sun it receives. I find that some of them don't bloom until they are a certain size. One would have to know which hybrid you have, whether its a improved hybrid or the older hybrid cross which blooms at a much larger size in comparison to the new. Just be patient and give it as much sunlight as possible without burning it up and you with see some action.
P.s.
My plant is in spike again with two spikes.
