Hello Lea,

Most cuttings seem to bloom between year two and year three. I think the gist is wanting the plant to concentrate it's energy on root and leaf production, then on to flowers once it is basically established.

Aloha,

Yeah, for mine it's two to four years. We don't have a real long growing season here, so for us in the 'North', it can take longer than someone in zone 8, 9 or 10. The warmer your climate, I think the more they'll put on good growth, get established and bloom sooner. For mine, the first blooming is sometimes a bit disappointing because the plant can't support a huge inflo or many flowers.

Some of my plants need to put on at least 18" of new growth per branch before an inflo develops, more or less.

Wow, I must have gotten very lucky because mne bloomed the first year. But then I'm in Florida with a very longgggg
growing season.
