Could it have gotten exposed to cooking gas or some other fume? I lost buds on a Catt hybrid during an exterior door install the caulk was kind of strong smelling while it cured.

I have never had that happen with a Twinkle. They have been kept in varying temperatures including a poorly temp regulated office with very dry air. They bloom once or twice a year. I do keep them mix with 50% gravel and vermiculite and let them dry a bit before watering.
