Hi

Those need pretty high light to induce flowering... This is easily
done in a greenhouse but can be more problematic on a windowsill. Try
to give it full sun in winter, and part-shade during the summer (if
possible outside).

Hmm... my Sharry Baby must be confused. I got it in bloom in Sept, brought
it home, enjoyed the blooms, and it now has another spike(!) which I hope
will be open in time for the show. Not that I'm complaining mind you, but
its definitely doing this out of season.

Not really. They bloom when the growth is mature and generally
twice a year. IF they are happy. Keep it smiling and you will
have the flowers. They are often sold for Valentine's day. Your
only a touch slow.

This is one of the grocery store ones Sue. I'm surprised it lived, let alone
sent out another spike!

Thanks, Ray, I'll try to feed it more. It needs repotting and dividing
today, so I will give it a good shot of fert.

I feed at every watering - this time a year about every 5-7 days if it's
sunny, more often in the summer.

I'm a lazy fertilizer, I admit. It gets balanced fert about every 3-4
weeks.

I get about two growth a year too, usually maturing in early summer
and
mid
fall, and the both typically spike. How much are you feeding it?

I do nothing to force mine - 'Sweet Fragrance', 'Everlasting', or
"Tricolor' - and they all bloom off and on in the summer-to-fall
time
period

Mine, too, which means it blooms on every second growth, since it
makes
two
new growths at least every year. Is there no way to get it to bloom
on
every growth? (I know, I sound greedy and impatient!)
